What does your work involve? 

I run a gallery called indigo+madder in London. The gallery was established in 2019, on the principles of inclusivity and diversity. We champion the work of those from underrepresented groups, emerging artists and artists of colour. indigo+madder collaborates with both local and international artists to initiate impactful cross-cultural discourse.

What inspires you? 

So many incredible individuals, who have unflinchingly addressed issues of racism and inequality, have shared generously. They have in turn inspired me to try and be part of the change and continue to make space for others. 

What message would you give to the next generation? 

Don’t give up on finding what truly drives you, even if the path is not straightforward, and then do the work!
