#BiennaleArchitettura2025 Special mention as National Participation to the #BritishPavilion. “A dialogue between Great Britain and Kenya about reparation and renewal. The Pavilion reveals architecture as architecture that is defined by extraction that produce inequality and environmental degradation. The Jury notes attempts to imagine a new relation between architecture and geology.”

Not many peeps know that the rain forest of Papua New Guinea is the 3rd largest on our planet. I am delighted to be co-curating a film and culture programme in the important region of the Sepik River, Papua New Guinea working with the Akeroyd Collection and The Mariwai Project with local village residents. See the link. lnkd.in/ebuxAKNd

It's brilliant to see record level of Sikh representation in Parliament. It was the privilege of my life to be the first Sikh woman elected to UK Parliament. Congratulations to all my new @UKLabour colleagues - I look forward to working together.

#BiennaleArte2024 #ForeignersEverywhere Silver Lion for a promising young participant to #KarimahAshadu. “With a searing intimacy, she captures the vulnerability of young men from the agrarian north of Nigeria who have migrated to Lagos and end up riding illegal motorbike taxis. Her feminist camera lens is extraordinarily sensitive and intimate, capturing the bikers’ subcultural experience as well as their economic precarity.”
