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

Ladbroke Grove to Larache. Book designer.
(2018)
Marking the one year anniversary of Grenfell, I joined FerArts as a facilitator on a youth photography retreat taking a group of young people from Ladbroke Grove across Morocco and eventually to Larache, an town with historical connections and migration to West London. The project culminated in an exhibition at Babajanis, a local cafe on Portobello Road.
I designed a zine for FerArts to collate photography from the project and celebrate the project close. The zine features an interview with collaborator Hassan Hajjaj at his Riad Yima.
