​

As part of the Arts Consulting team at AEA Consulting, Becky delivered market research, capital development and strategic planning for clients including Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Galeri Petronas, Tate, and the Governments of Dubai, Belfast, and Hampshire. Recently, she collaborated with King’s College London to evaluate and co-design an artist-academic residency program with academics, artists and the University’s senior leadership team, funders and stakeholders.

 

Becky also led the Venice Biennale Fellowship for the British Pavilion, working with Deans and Heads of Faculty from 35 universities to build community of practice in access, inclusion and duty of care. Alongside, she mentored 66 Fellows – including emerging sound artists, poets, curators, historians, data scientists, philosophers - in preparation for their time in Venice. She led the British Council’s £9m Developing Inclusive and Creative Economies (DICE) program (2018-2021), which activated new forms of capacity building and collaboration among a new network of 22,000 creative social entrepreneurs, artists, researchers, intermediaries, young journalists, and policy-makers in Brazil, Egypt, Indonesia, Pakistan, South Africa and the UK. The program empowered women, young people, those with disabilities, and those otherwise identified by their communities as structurally excluded from mainstream opportunities, to access creative opportunities.

 

DICE was cited as a 'bold innovation in international development' and ‘a model for 21st century leadership, encouraging new thinking and horizontal collaborations across disciplines, countries and continents’. DICE will form a new exhibition at Princeton University’s School of Public and International Affairs, in December 2024, including programming for Princeton Public Schools. Becky commissioned 18 artists from Brazil, Egypt, Indonesia, Pakistan, South Africa and UK, working in film, animation, textiles, carving, poetry, traditional painting, political cartoons, and drama, to explore visual communication and international aid.
