Her collaborative endeavours have included exhibitions, films, events and archive-focussed research initiatives with partners such as the International Curators Forum, Hauser & Wirth Institute, the Showroom and The National Archives. In 2024 Ellie delivered events focussed on art and place with Flat Time House, the Women's Art Library, Household Belfast, the Yasmin David Estate, the NewBridge Project and Star and Shadow Cinema through the British Art Network. Alongside independent work, Ellie is managing Gifts and Bequests at Art Fund and delivering projects for the Whitechapel Gallery.
