Deeply grateful to @arusaqureshi for a brilliant interview and article in the @scotnational about @creatives_of_colour Festival.
You can read the full article (apologies for the shoddy stitching together) to hear more about why @zahratheacademic and I founded the festival and its urgency in the current local and global political climate.
“This emphasis on exchange - on solidarity rather than passive consumption - is particularly urgent in the context of our current political landscape. Both curators point to the rise of far-right rhetoric, anti-immigrant sentiment and global conflicts as shaping the need for spaces like the festival.”
“For both curators, the answer lies in a need for systemic change: greater investment in the arts, more equitable opportunities, and a recognition that culture is inherently political.”
Shout out to all of our amazing artists, friends, family, orgs and communities who make the Festival a reality.
We’d love to see you at this year’s Festival, taking place across Glasgow May 7-10.

This post is dedicated to Laura Meek, photographer extraordinaire, who recently helped me out with some new headshots for work things ✨
I've never been great when it comes to photos of myself – in fact, one of my least favourite things ever is being photographed. But Laura put up with my awkward self and made the whole process fun and easy (even when Begbie got involved!).
If you're looking for anyone to take photos of you, especially if you're an awkward mess like I am, please hit up Laura – she's the best.
THANK YOU LAURA ❤️

At No.14 in our #aoty - and @arusaqureshi's top pick - is @johnglacier's 'Like A Ribbon'.
John Glacier delivered an album packed with introspective and wide-ranging ideas, amalgamating hip-hop, grime, garage and more. Contrasting digital life with the tranquillity of the natural world, Glacier’s hypnotic delivery made for an intriguing debut. See the full list at the link in bio #johnglacier
