2020 Creative Ambassador for Decolonising DMU
logo design, proposal
Working to widen people’s knowledge on black and brown people’s history. As an ambassador I spread the news of upcoming meetings we had for people to learn about decolonisation and discrimination people face in education and work due to their skin tone and heritage. Creatively I was given the opportunity to build the logo and come up with designs digitally for future merchandise. I put together a proposal to interact with other students on Instagram sharing and talking about black and brown people who have played a great role in our society.

Work experience
2022 Being Here RE-Imagined - Co-curating the work of Black and Asian students within the Leicester School of Arts at the; De Montfort University Leicester Gallery Atrium, Shop front and LCB Depot.
2022 Directed and Curated an Exhibition called ‘World of Emotions’. At the beginning of our third year of university another student and I decided to organise an exhibition to compensate for the lost opportunities of professional practise during the pandemic. The theme of Emotion for the exhibition came about through reflecting on creative different perspectives. Around 25 artist showed works varying in style and medium. We learned about advertising and funding as we went along.
