Thankyou everyone who bought something from me it always fills me with such joy that my work is enjoyed in someone’ wall or makes someone smile.

So inspiring seeing other artists and their work, skills and talent and glimpse into their world. Thank you OverHere and Seleena and her team for organising and inviting me to do a reading of my zine this time too which was fun.

DAY 39 of 75 ART

Today my brother and I attended the Khidr Collective launch of their new Zine, Issue Five - Holding Joy.

Khidr Collective is a UK-based multidisciplinary arts organisation founded in 2017. It’s so cool, platforming original works, from zines, to poetry, to visual arts by British-Muslim creatives.

We saw some lit talks about indie publishing moderated by Jessica El Mal (curator & artist), talking with multidisciplinary artist and cofounder of @mangojamcollective , as well as other amazing artist.

We also heard some beautiful poetry by Kamran Sajid (writer, poet, and founder of @offlinebooksmcr book club), and Maryam Alsaeid (Iraqi-British poet, pharmacist & faciliator).

Finally, saw an interview moderated by the wonderful Warda Khokhar, with non other than @sufiyaansalam , talking about his debut novel Wimmy Road Boyz. Give it a read!

Stole some time while watching to sketch.

#ZineMelaTurf Bangladeshi artist Zainul Abedin catalogue picked as favourite of collection. Bengal Famine socialist artist who also made art in solidarity with Palestine. I also have 100s of art catalogues from South Asia that I sourced in Bangladesh from decades ago.

Zine Mela Open to 30th July 11am-5pm Weds-Saturday @turfprojects

Final days. Don't miss it. When it's gone it's gone.

Go to Kola pata restaurant in Whitechapel to see a large recreation of this Zainul Abedin artwork The Struggle in the back room. My favourite Bangladesh restaurant in UK with oldish borta.

Holding space for joy and reflection by contributing to @khidrcollective’s latest issue.

This wouldn’t have been possible without the effort and kindness of @zainoted who generously sent me a copy straight from London. I am truly grateful for your presence and friendship, and I hope to see it blossom.

If you’d like to get a copy, please send them a DM.
