Excited to share Rojeen will be featured in the Manchester Open Exhibition at @HOME_mcr 💛🌞
Can’t wait to see the participating selected works by artists from all over Greater Manchester + I am so pleased to be sharing Rojeen, our daughter of the sun as part of the exhibit.
A video of my works from the opening of The Fire In Their Eyes Exhibition in Kunstlinie, Almere, Netherlands that I had the pleasure of participating in with incredible artists from around the world.

I have loved meeting people and interacting with the visitors of the gallery and hope that 2024 brings more opportunities to share my work to new audiences. 🙏🏽✨

Lead Artist, Beena, gave a moving and wonderful speech:
"I am reminded that the arts have the power to bridge divides, heal wounds, and create spaces where everyone, regardless of their background, can find a sense of belonging."

A week on from our Creating Place Celebration event, and I have been reflecting on what this project meant for me.
From 8 design led workshops (that became 11 🤩) that informed and scoped the purpose built design + build exhibition
Beautiful artwork, beautiful music, delicious food, and conversations with friends old and new. We're so delighted to have been a partner on this exhibition with @theturnpikegallery @swapwigan , and look forward to building our relationship further. 🖼️🎶
Thank you especially to @Sheba_Arts, @theturnpikegall, the dedicated artists and volunteers who made this possible and of course SWAP for this collaboration – I hope that this project can lead as an example to other regions in the UK, in how we can welcome new communities.
