Celebrating @accessart25 at the @royalacademyarts on Saturday!
Having worked as a young producer on this project since February, it was massively rewarding to watch our 2,000 person event fill with people excited to experience the exhibition and the day of talks and workshops that we had planned.
Thank you to all of the speakers and workshop leaders that made the day so special, everyone who attended, and all of the young producers and teams at the Courtauld!

My favourite thing about the @kochibiennale was how it spread itself through the island, presenting a treasure hunt for its excited visitors (who didn’t want to read the map).
I wandered towards the bright colours of Casa Borges next to Anand Warehouse, and came across Cinthia Marcelle’s (@cimarcelle ) ‘History’, a project that reframes repair as an act of care and collaboration in a time where replacement is more common. All these objects were collected from local residents and repaired, meaning the work also acts as an archive of community.
This installation, projecting itself onto the street and not hidden behind any walls, is an embodiment of the welcoming atmosphere and environment that I found at the biennale and in Fort Kochi itself.

A really brilliant show by @sayanchanda with @delawarr in Bexhill!
It was so beautiful to see Bonibibi (the female deity of the mangrove forests of Bengal, worshipped by both Hindus and Muslims) reimagined in a changed form through Kantha textiles and huge forms. It felt like such a creative approach to representing a longstanding cultural figure.
I was a huge fan of the scale and use of darkness in the space.
Laisul Hoque at Nunnery Gallery in Bow. Such an amazing show and atmosphere, the whole space had such an intimate energy, like sitting in the living room with someone else’s family.
He brought up such personal but universal feelings, and you can really feel how vulnerable the work is. The film and photos had me feeling very emotional.
Shoutout Laleh’s grandad and brother, Bengal is massive.

Very beautifully displayed public photography exhibition that I saw displayed at the Plaza de Armas de Barranco in Lima, Peru. Although I can’t read the Spanish, the first set of photos seem to imagine the future of public spaces and the fabric of the city, while the second speaks to the experience of Indigenous populations in the Amazon.
The square was bustling well into the late hours of the night. I was spending my last evening in the city strolling around and looking for some fried chicken and Inca Kola.
If anyone could read the Spanish or tell me what it’s about I would appreciate!
‘Mirror, Mirror’ and ‘Doubles’ from last year, a really great summer double show with @permindarkaur and @premsahib at @pitzhanger Manor and Gallery.
I thought Permindar’s work made the gallery space so playful and soft, and Prem’s interventions in the Manor were really provoking, I was trying to figure out those hoodies for longer than I can admit. Looking forward to 2026 for both!!
