Helmut joined the Consortium Team in February 2024 as a London Engagement Officer. They are a spatial justice activist, community archaeologist, and an enthusiastic coach, mentor and trainer. Throughout their career as an academic in the UK and Australia, Helmut co-designed and enabled grassroots community heritage projects in Pakistan, Italy and Sydney. Social justice is at the core of their practice, which is focused on open citizenship, refugee and asylum seeker participation in culture and heritage sectors, grassroots group capacity building and spatial justice advocacy.
Aside from advocating for fairer and more inclusive participation and access to culture and place, Helmut is still an active researcher and regularly publishes peer-reviewed papers in journals and edited collections. They are a proud cat daddy, vegan for the animals and lover of all things 1980s. They will not renounce their ironic mullet, or their collection of Miami Vice suits.
