“Emma is a sharp and original thinker with ambition and wisdom beyond her years. She delivered a keynote on art and public spaces for a major national conference that Watershed produced with ease and insight, and has acted as a judge of our global Playable City Award – I absolutely recommend you work with her immediately.”

Clare Reddington, Creative Director of Watershed

“Emma is one of the most multi-talented people I’ve worked with. She’s an ideas person, always coming up with a new way of thinking about problems, creative answers to things you haven’t yet seen. She’s a leader, someone that others naturally look up to.”

Ben Thomas, Curator of Learning and Participation for Arnolfini Art Gallery

“I have had the pleasure and the privilege of working with her over the past 7 years. During that time I have seen her flourish, growing in confidence, ability and ambition. Emma has been a key inspiration for the creation and development of Rising Arts Agency, and her contribution as a Board member for the past few years has been invaluable.“

Kamina Walton, Founding Director of Rising Arts Agency

“Emma Morsi is an exceptional young woman. She excels in everything she puts her hand to – whether as an artist, creative director, social media producer or Board member. Her talent and drive is unprecedented for someone still so young.“

Kamina Walton, Founding Director of Rising Arts Agency

“Emma is incredibly supportive of people that she works with and is keen to educate and challenge people on their views in a non-patronising manner, purely from a place of care.”

Laura Lewis-Paul, Creative Director of Saffron Records

“Emma has always shown great passion and care in every detail. She shows interest in her surroundings, has a good creative eye and merges her many interests seamlessly. She is a professional, attentive individual with a great natural intuition, and she is a delight to work with.“

Joh Rindom, Co-Founder and Owner of That Thing (previously Shop Dutty)

Start of the month @shannonwintersx and I were meant to go to Vienna to meet and interview the incredible people behind @qwstion_official, who innovated bananatex® – the world's first durable, waterproof fabric made purely from banana plants. We met the co-founder Hannes Schönnegger at @wearepremierevision in Feb, but as we couldn't go over to meet them in their creative space, we brought Qwstion to us. And it slapssss 👉🏾 me in @qwstion_official #bananatex Hip Pouch in crossbody mode and natural white .

week 4 of self-isolation got me like 🙃 | settle down for a long one cus issa RANT

The collective fatigue and trauma we're all facing is working in their favour. Shit man every day is exhausting *deep sigh* at this point I'm having to dip in and out of socials to preserve my own mental health so I get it. I don't even know how y'all are running 5k. I'm just stopping to reflect on where we were a month ago, because today marks a month since I wrote my article about how the outbreak has seemingly made the rich greedier and the poor poorer. And oh boy how things have changed nationally and personally
.
I really glossed over the fact I had a breakdown at the start of self isolation, which was worsened by the week when Boris told us to say goodbye to loved ones, I decided I couldn't return home for my mum's safety, was then left to self-isolate by myself in Manchester (have since had mates move in and the extra company has been lovely), and haven't been able to follow up with MH diagnosis. On Wed 18th March I probably reached the darkest place I've been in a while but luckily reaching out to lit everyone I could saying to check on me, meant I woke up to a flood of love and support the next day and I honestly haven't been in the same place since. So much darkness and evil has come from this outbreak, but I can't deny how much of a necessary reset and pause it has been for myself and those around me. Shit still needs to be done but I think the panic-stricken urgency we placed on everything has been lifted, and some days I feel like I can breathe in ways I haven't for a while. But I know this ain't the same for many other people, who are currently mourning, fighting for their lives or undergoing the maddest struggles outside of, yet impacted by, this outbreak. Although a month old and so much has changed since, I thought I'd post about this article I wrote in peak frustration and urgency to digest the madness that was only starting to kick off. If you want to escape into the mind of a frustrated yute you can read the article on my website via link in bio. Self care is way more than face masks and bubble baths but hope this pic provides you endless lols. Stay safe 🖤

(3/3) For my coronavirus article I wrote around a month ago (up on my website via link in bio) about how this outbreak had seemingly made the rich greedier and the poor poorer, I also designed some virus characters that I've ironically now become quite fond of. In staying true to my cancelled theme, I hope this COVID-19 outbreak will be cancelledt AS-mf'ing-AP. Until then I guess these caricatures can come out to play in the form of another design for @sophiefilomena's competition 🤒 | which one is your fave out of the 3?

(1/3): this piece was inspired by my lil plant/torso tattoo I designed. Seeing it everyday brings me so much joy so why not design earrings to match? If 'Rona hadn't cancelled our whole final project, @shannonwintersx and I would be making sustainable jewellery and components from waste materials rn *sigh* so was fun playing around on Illustrator and Photoshop for @sophiefilomena's competition instead. And since they said you can enter as many times as you want... A gal got a lil carried away. Onto the next posts 🙈
