This new focus really allowed my artistic side to flourish, opening doors and bringing new opportunities.2023, I recognised myself as the sort of artist that they were looking for.

I spent a lot of time going to meetings with the different African groups there are in Leeds, to find out more about how they have contributed the richness of their heritage to the city, talking to them about Leeds 2023 and encouraging them to share their stories and be part of this landmark city celebration of culture.
Many of the other My World, My City, My Neighbourhood projects were focused on one particular area of the city, whereas the community I was engaging were based across many wards. Understanding this led us to putting forward four clear ideas which celebrate these themes as the culmination of project. These are currently in the planning stages but I hope to be able to share more about them soon.
