Romany Reagan is an Arts Council England funded freelance research fellow and creative partner, working with museums and heritage sites. Her most recent exhibition 'Women's Weeds' was a study of the hidden histories of women in medicine—from mediaeval cunning women and herbal witchcraft to 19th-century feminist botany, at the Museum of the Home in London, which ran July-September 2023. Romany received her doctorate from Royal Holloway, University of London in Performing Heritage in 2018. Her practice-based thesis explored the layers of heritage within Abney Park cemetery, which led to a study of the occult literary heritage of Stoke Newington, ‘earth mystery’ psychogeography, and folklore. Since completion of her PhD, Romany has documented her ongoing research into lost histories and place-based folklore and legends on her blog Blackthorn & Stone.
