Bella is a London-born, socially engaged interdisciplinary artist working across moving images, photography, writing, and sound. Her artistic practice is predominantly research-led and long-term, shaped by her interest in anti-colonial and anti-ableist visual ethnographies and the ecologies of cities and public spaces. Bella's practice is grounded in radical slow-looking and sensing in transitional environments, inviting the viewer to slow down and reflect.
Bella's work explores the nature and social justice of urban environments, delving into the sensory experiences of inner landscapes, durational rituals, and invisible micro-worlds. She focuses on the multi-layered environmental experiences of peripheral communities within the metropolis, particularly concerning class, race and gender.
Bella holds an MFA in Photography from Parsons School of Design, The New School, New York, awarded through a Fulbright All Disciplines Award.
