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

Saving the Granville with Zadie Smith. Co-Producer.
I co-organised a reading and Q&A with Zadie Smith to support the campaign to save the Granville (and Carlton Centre next door) in South Kilburn, which were under threat of demolition by Brent Council. Both centres have existed in the community for over 100 years and have hosted everything from weddings to wakes.
The evening also featured performances from Caleb Femi, Zia Ahmed and J-Unity.
The campaign and event was covered in London Live and Kilburn Times. You can listen to the conversation via Mixcloud.
