PHD SCHOLAR | MIDLANDS4CITIES DOCTORAL TRAINING PARTNERSHIP | 2025 – 2031

Megan Arranagu Reddy is a writer, scholar and film practitioner based in/out of London. She works across scholarship, moving image, experimental writing, sound and curation to look at vulnerable ecologies, geographies of displacement and current global experiences of colonialism through the lens of loss. Her practice engages family archives and intergenerational memory, exploring the intimate impacts of colonialism on language, kinship and ecology.

Engaging on-the-move as practice, her work interrogates borders/citizenship in solidarity with those experiencing criminalised movement. She makes work towards liberation and anticapitalist/anticolonial resistance and engages anticolonial theory from black studies, Caribbean philosophy and urban studies. Her doctoral research explores black feminist geographies of liberation and Caribbean speculative fiction, investigating feminist maroon aesthetics as an attempt to imagine life beyond the climate breakdown instituted by racial capitalism.

She creates multimedia moving image, sound and research work within collectives, informed by legacies of feminist and anticolonial working practices that decentre single authorship and institutions.

Her moving image work has been exhibited at spaces in London including the ICA, The Bomb Factory and P21 Gallery. She has programmed community screenings for Finch Community Cinema and Other Cinemas. She is a cohort member of the 2025 Kaddukkas research and curatorial project ‘The Seeds Sprout Dreams’ which investigates investigates and reenacts subterranean film infrastructures in South Asia.
