Collecting Ends | Dhelia Snoussi

Tale of Two Cities. Series Producer.

I produced a series of three events exploring gentrification in the city taking place at Goldsmiths University; Bush Hall & Rich Mix: representing different corners of the city and in particular areas undergoing rapid gentrification.

A collaboration between Decolonising Our Minds and Take Back The City, Tale of Two Cities brought together young artists from across London to share their stories of the city. We celebrate art as the expression of resistance, but also art as the opportunity for respite and healing.

Performers included Big Zuu, Caleb Femi, Lex Amor and Mad Professor.

Co-Curators: Zahra Delilah and Zain Dada

ENDS. noun.

A way of referring to where you are from (neighbourhood, town, city, region etc.)

I designed and curated “Collecting Ends” at the Museum of London with FerArts.

Collecting Ends was a 6-month youth ‘collecting’ project to collect the lived experience of West London from local young people through photography and oral history.

I developed an ambitious learning programme, forming partnerships with Black in the Day, GUAP Magazine, Soho Radio, Freedom & Balance, Victoria Mapplebeck, Normski and Eddie Otchere.

Works produced and collected on the project will contribute to the Museum’s permanent collections.

The Collecting Ends exhibition opened in February 2020 in a shop-front in West London to showcase the works produced.
