Barbara Touati-Evans

I am an audio-artist that uses music hardware (no laptop) to create music which I adapt live- effectively remixing my own music in real time. I tend towards the techno genre but relish the challenge of creating site-specific music such as I did as part of the Q121 project- playing music live in the historic wind tunnel in Farnborough to a paying audience. I also like to create unique sounding instruments or sound sources using contact microphones or by “circuit-bending” older electronic toys. By creating unique instruments this way- old, unwanted toys can be sustainably given new leases of life and become both sonically and artistically pleasing or interesting. I like to collaborate with other artists.    

I’m a coach, consultant, and facilitator helping arts and culture organisations strengthen boards, improve governance, and plan for a sustainable future. I work with creative, purpose-driven teams to make change practical – whether through board development, leadership coaching, or strategic planning. With experience across charities, cultural organisations and business, my goal is simple: help you stay focused, embrace change, and thrive while staying true to your mission. Let’s talk if you want to lead with confidence and make a bigger impact.

I have 30 plus years experience developing, designing and making hands-on, interactive and educational exhibits for Museums and Science Centres. I now have my own business offering consultancy in the field and designing and producing exhibits. My experience includes, concept design, exhibit development and prototyping, evaluation and feasibility assessment, production and install. It is a wonderfully interesting and enjoyable mission. I have also developed an interactive donation box for museums and science centres that amuses and informs the visitors as they make their generous donations.
