A bit of non chronic illness related news. A short documentary I directed about my grandfather is showing an official selection for the BFI London Film Festival

This of course would not be possible without the amazing and everyone who worked on it.

I should have posted this a while ago, but a lovely combination of imposter syndrome, social anxiety, and neurospicy executive dysfunction led to a late post 😂

If you take anything from the film, it’s to archive your grandparents. Record their stories in their own words.

I’m so excited to finally share that my film “On Black Pain” is showing at the Venice Biennale 2024. It’s included in the Crip Arte Spazio exhibition by

I remember visiting my first biennale in 2022 so it’s a great honour to have a piece of work included this year. As a Black disabled artist, this is a beautiful affirmation.

Special thanks to the three wonderful people who shared their stories with me and for their cinematography work during production.

And the people who have supported the film for the last two years

Also thank you to for the lovely write up in

If you find yourself in Venice during the Biennale, this is a must see.

Here’s more info about the exhibition and the incredible artists also in the show.

“Crip Arte Spazio is a huge, joyous, and exuberant celebration showcasing the dynamism, wit, and grandeur of the Disability Arts Movement (DAM). The DAM aligned art with the fight for rights, broke barriers, and ultimately affected changes in UK law, while making great art about doing so.

As if an electric demonstration of crip creatives have arrived in Venice, the exhibition explodes in the venue, with huge protest banners, cartoon panels, large-scale projected artist films, photography, graphic novels, and campaign merchandise.

Exhibiting artists

Exhibiting artists

Terence Birch, Tony Heaton OBE, Jameisha Prescod, Abi Palmer, Ker Wallwork, Tanya Raabe-Webber, Jason Wilsher-Mills.

Crip Arte Spazio, supported by Shape Arts’ National Disability Movement Archive and Collection (NDMAC), will also showcase archival work from the activist street photographer, Keith Armstrong (1950 – 2017), whose work catalogues the front line of the fight for rights and contextualises the exhibition.”

A little essay on the loss of platonic love written as a “mammoth” for has been included in an anthology: Vreselijk Verlangen (Dreadful Desire).

I had the pleasure of finally meeting the wonderful team behind Het Moet this month in Amsterdam who gifted me the first copy 🥹🥰

What a privilege to be included amongst all these beautiful words both in Dutch and English.

Autumn baby born into seasonal changes.
