Libraries as…
exhibition space…

career support…

workspace…

I’m excited to be exhibiting with Brixton Tate Library through an artist residency during April, not only as it’s on home turf (Sowf Landan), but cos it allows me to serve diverse audiences in public space in a more accessible way, outside an often limited art gallery framework.…
Got a spot with @FreeTheGallery at my local arty market, Haynes Lane in Crystal Palace, selling some boomness with over 30 local artists & brands on display – come vibe with us…
