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

Our Granville. Short Film. Director/Producer/Editor. (2019)
I directed and edited a short film in collaboration with the Granville Community Kitchen based in South Kilburn. The film was delivered as part of a participatory film project I produced with secondary school students in North West London.
A community screening of the film took place at the Granville Centre and the film was also screened at Free Word Centre as part of “The Future of Social Housing” in collaboration with Shelter. The film has since been used in workshops within schools to raise awareness of issues of public space in London.
The film was covered by local news outlet Kilburn Times and includes contributions from writer Zadie Smith and Britain’s Got Talent Winner Tokio Myers.
Link to the film coming soon.
