Alice Louisa
Designated Safeguarding Officer
Amplify and empower
Alice Louisa is an artist, storyteller and facilitator from Southampton. She works primarily with photography, extending into installation, arts facilitation and participatory projects. Her practice is shaped around by her upbringing and she explores themes of class, identity, and social experience. She is particularly interested in art's political and social potential, often using humour and fantasy to navigate complex and sensitive subjects around land and social justice.
Alice’s workshops and co-creation sessions are trauma-informed, playful, and nature-focused, using creativity and imagination to help participants explore their stories safely and joyfully. She’s worked with youth groups, community organisations, charities, schools, and women’s groups, centring accessibility, care, and collaboration, and enabling participants to shape their own narratives.
At ZEST Arts Collective, she acts as the Designated Safeguarding Officer and supports the management of child and vulnerable adult protection concerns within the art collective.
Outside of her practice, she is the Youth Lead at Pompey Darkroom, where she supports young people in developing their creative practices through analogue photography and darkroom sessions. She volunteers as 'Lala' with The Flying Seagull Project, contributing to programmes that bring play, creativity and connection to children in crisis.
