Between Two Cultures - Documentary

'Between Two Cultures' explores second-generation identity in the UK. The documentary looks at the lives of six Londoners, all of African and/or Caribbean heritage. Discussing their experiences growing up, traditional cultures, their notions of home and belonging, and British television and film, the documentary seeks to understand how second-generation immigrants in Britain construct their identities whilst being from two vastly different cultures.

Through My Eyes

'Through My Eyes' is a photo book of images, both from the past and the present; used to coincide with each other. The book captures various areas of London that hold different forms of significance to my family and I, and old photographs of them in these locations are used to reflect on the meaning of these areas and how they have developed over time. While some spaces have notably changed, others have remained the same in appearance but present more subtle differences. The artefact follows a timeline to capture the mobility of my family, in addition to that of spaces and places, and of media and culture.
