In 2019, I co-curated the first student-led show at the Lethaby Gallery, Central Saint Martins, University of Arts London, together with artist and curator Sara Gulamali.
Through an international open-call, we selected 22 artists’ works to show in this 3-week show, and curated an extensive public programme.
The ambition of the show was to assist incredible artists and their tools of creating and reinforcing world(s) where their voices are amplified, heard and revered.
This show, featured 14 incredible artist women of colour from a total of 22 artists.
Works in the show
The exhibition featured three gestures of mine:
- a daily flower intervention by invigilators. Flowers were sent to the gallery and wherever possible were installed in the nooks and cracks of the gallery space.
- On the private viewing, I performed with my band comprising of myself and friends.
- All public programmes were seated on chears provided by An Viet, a community centre in Hackney that provides services to the Vietnamese community.
