^{gal-dem magazine: the ‘Home’ issue}

^{‘The Home Issue’ features content centered around the experiences of what home means to women of colour, both in a personal and a political sense.’}

^{Artwork I submitted to be featured in gal-dem’s second print issue themed around ‘Home’. Available here.}
These three pieces are self initiated and reference a few movies that impacted me deeply as a moody teen, but that also (retrospectively speaking) felt slightly inaccessible, and I think had some negative impact on my sense of self worth via the lack of diverse representation. (Although obvs I still found some comfort in these films). With these images I kind of wanted to subvert some of those implied rules of ‘cult’ movies and center woc as Criterion Collection approved. (not that we need permission)

^{These next three images were also in the Home issue and created to accompany Miriam Walker-Khan’s piece on growing up British and Pakistani.}
