ABOUT:

As an artist working within the realm of Afrofuturism, Black working class social and political movements, I am fascinated by the idea of imagining new possibilities for the future while honoring the very reality of our present.

Through my art, I strive to create a dialogue that explores the intersection of race, gender, and identity in contemporary society. I am particularly drawn to the power of images and symbols, and how they can be used to challenge dominant narratives and reimagine new realities.

By utilizing a combination of images and digital materials, the collective work rejects structural conventions and serves as the antithesis to the earthbound normative projections of working class black Africans.

My work often incorporates elements of science fiction and fantasy, as a way to imagine alternative futures that challenge the status quo. I believe that art has the power to transform society, and through this innovative approach, working with technology becomes a powerful tool for liberation, enabling the artist to break free from the constraints of the past and lead the way towards a brighter future.

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
