Hello friends.

Maybe you saw already, but I’m charged as fuck to share that I’ve been chosen to join the 26/27 group of Resident Artists at Bristol Beacon. Feels like such a gift, especially to be there alongside friends and artists that I truly respect. We got together recently on our second induction day, and spoke closely about how we all felt somewhat like we’re “in between” people. Not like them four white dudes from that show that has, for some mad reason, become a cultural touchstone. But a shared feeling that we’re people who don’t always feel they have a home in their genre, expression or creativity. So to have been given a space where we can explore that kinda…liminal identity together is such a beautiful thing. Big ups to divine timing. I promise you all I will be annoying about this for the whole year.

Love always,

Lawi
