Harvest of Feelings / Care Table
The White House, Create London, October 2025
Facilitator / Workshop Designer

A drop-in creative reflection workshop exploring renewal, rest, and self-care through collective making. Visitors are invited to sit at the Care Table — a communal space for reflection and creativity — and create a Care Label or postcard expressing how they wish to be cared for during the winter months.

The activity draws inspiration from Nora Heidorn’s Care Labels and the Emotions Wheel, encouraging participants to connect with their emotional state before making. Using coloured papers, threads, and pegs, participants craft gentle, poetic prompts that visualise personal needs for care, warmth, and connection.Highlights- Interactive, all-ages drop-in format
- Combines art-making, writing, and emotional reflection
- Inspired by care-centred artistic practices
- Part of Create London’s Harvest of Feelings Garden Party series

Dahomey: Film Screening and Curatorial DiscussionUpcoming Workshop — Galeri Siyah Beyaz, Ankara, 2026
Curator / Moderator
A film screening and discussion centred on Mati Diop’s Dahomey (2024), exploring questions of decolonial museology, cultural restitution, and the politics of the archive. The event brings together curatorial and art-historical perspectives to consider how museums can act as spaces of repair, dialogue, and accountability.

Presenting at Galeri Siyah Beyaz in Ankara, the programme includes a screening of Dahomey followed by a conversation with Dr. Patrick Watt (historian and museum specialist) and Aysesu Zapsu (curator), reflecting on how curating can respond to histories of displacement and the return of cultural heritage.Highlights- Screening of Dahomey (dir. Mati Diop, 2024)
