Brown Girl in the Pit

My new exhibition, Brown Girl in the Pit, opened at Nexus Art Café on September 5th and runs until October 5th.
The lovely Thamanna Choudhray (Instagram: @banarnphotography) came down and filmed the whole thing!

Here is the end result:

 

Round Up, end of Summer!

Hey again, another sporadic post!
Been super busy this Summer, with more workshops: Pride Party for Superbia and a Felt portrait workshop at Bury Art Museum.

I was also on a panel of Queer artists of Colour for the Superbia pride events. Manchester Pride weekend also some new art feature in a group exhibition, Queer art show #5, Revoke, at The Penthouse HQ!


I also have a brand new Solo exhibition on at Nexus art café, in the nook until 5th October (more of that later!) called Brown Girl in the Pit.

I also managed to squeeze in a zine fair, last week tabling at Leeds zine fair where Brown Girls #3 made it's zine fair debut!

I'm having a mini break before getting back to it In Autumn, where so far October is looking like the month for performing!

Round up!!

I neglect this news blog and when I remember about it's existence, whatever is happening already happened, too busy eating crisps I guess!!

What else have I been up to? well...

I've been working on zines and workshops and a couple of pieces of new work, like this piece that I created for an Alan Menken evening as part of Manchester After Hours...

And this piece, Brown Girl In The Pit, that has been exhibited as part of Girl Gang Manchester's See My Selfie Exhibition and at Decolonise Fest in London...

I've also taken part in an event for the See My Selfie exhibition that saw me life modelling dressed as Josephine Baker (again) as part of a drink and draw evening. I also Whipped out my Poly Styrene dress I made for my 21st birthday to life model at Bury Art Museum as part of their Identity exhibition.

It also coincided with the launch of my What, Is She Black Now? exhibition at Bury Art Museum, which is up until mid July!!

My Rad friend and super artist Alison Erika Forde is also opening up her home as a gallery for an afternoon. So Manchester people can pop down on June 25th to see work by her, me, Kandy Diamond and Lee Crocker!

I finally managed to make it to DIY Cultures and tabling there was a blast. I also tabled at the fanciest venue to date, Tate Britain!!

 

Workshop wise, I've been doing zine making workshops with the Whitworth youth collective and a felt portrait workshop at International Slavery Museum in Liverpool.

I will be doing two more zine workshops over summer, one sees me returning to International Slavery Museum on August 5th and another one for Tate Britain on July 22nd!!!

PHEW!

right off to go work on my favourite issue of Brown Girl yet!!
