Amber is currently an AHRC CHASE-funded doctoral researcher at the Centre for Curatorial Studies, University of Essex, working towards a practice-led PhD considering the exhibition and display of political and propaganda textiles. Her previous show, The Fabric of Democracy: Propaganda Textiles from the French Revolution to Brexit, ran at the Fashion & Textile Museum and featured around 150 objects ranging from French toile de Jouy to Japanese robes from the Asia-Pacific war, and Cultural Revolution-era Chinese fabrics which have rarely before been exhibited in the UK.​ â€‹It was featured in the The Guardian, Financial Times, The Observer, RIBA Journal and World of Interiors.

Amber is an Associate Curator at the British Textile Biennial, and is the host of their Cloth Cultures podcast, where she speaks to artists, historians, makers, and scientists to shed light on our textile history, delving into the stories of the objects, people and places that inspire the Biennial programme.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
