Milk Presents - ‘We Too Shall See’ - sharing event documentation
I the midst of a heatwave I documented a sharing event performance of ‘We Too Shall See’ for the Old Diorama Arts Centre. ODAC supported the development of the project through providing the rehearsal space.
‘We Too Shall See’ is a collaborative project between UK-based queer theatre company Milk Presents and Egyptian artists, as part of a British Council / Arts Council funding project, New Conversations Egypt.
The project is a digital collaboration between Jo Tyabji, Milk's associate director, an Egyptian Film Maker Sami Yassin and choreographer Nagham Salah Othman. It’s exploring borders, international borders but also borders within ourselves and identity. With performance from Valerie Ebuwa.
The rooftop space provided by British Land PLC.

'Never The Same, Something Else' Private View at the Old Diorama Arts Centre
I documented the opening event for 'Never The Same, Something Else' exhibition, supported and hosted by the Old Diorama Arts Centre.
'Never The Same, Something Else' is an immersive exhibition curated by a group of artists from Central Saint Martins. Their week-long show has been accumulated following a 7-week project led by their studio manager, where the artists researched and responded to artworks by BIPOC Artists from the UAL Art Collection and the British Artist's Film & Video Study Collection through a series of workshops. The students have used the archives to collectively and playfully draw upon a continued history with the works - one which is never the same but something else.
