Biography
I am a writer, cultural producer, researcher and the Co-founder of Khidr Collective Zine – a zine platforming the work of British Muslims. In 2020, I also co-founded Khidr Comix Lab – a space for Black, Brown and Muslim storytellers to innovate, experiment and create within the comix medium. My directing credits include 2019 Outspoken Prize-winning short visual poem, The Moon is a Meme, and 2020 Outspoken Prize-nominated animation short, Otherstani. I became a Fellow after publishing my research on The Future of Community Arts.
I currently working as a freelance programme support consultant for the Greater London Authority's Community Spaces at Risk fund which supports community organisations across London.
