London Art Week

In my time when I am not studying, I am working across multiple projects in the art world. Currently, I am the co-founder of Reborn Reps, a PR and Production Agency building a bridge between organizations, independent brands, and larger corporations. I launched Reborn Reps in April 2025 with my business partner, Rory Hayes. Since launching, we’ve continued our work with an international organization championing diversity in the art world known as Black Girls in Art Spaces.

This year, we had to pleasure of attending London Art Week fair: Frieze London & Masters, 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair, and Minor Attractions. Due to recovering from illness, I was not able to attend every day of the fairs but got a chance to spend at least a couple of hours at each one.

A key takeaway from attending the fairs is how much networking is important in the art world. It is necessary to be able to talk about your practice, inspirations and build connections with other artists, curators, writers, and art lovers. I got a chance to speak with artist from Australia, New York, Ghana, and find commonalities in our practices. Through special access, I was introduced to art institutions I haven’t yet attended like the Serpentine Gallery.

The highlight of my week was the private view of the Kerry James Marshall exhibit at The Royal Art Museum. The works presented reminded me of home, my heritage, and made me a bit emotional grappling with the weight of Black American oppression. It was a full circle moment for me being in London for a full year standing in front of a portrait of my people at a private view for one of the most prestigous art fairs globally.

I exited the week feeling motivated to pursue my practice more relentlessly and having faith that there is space for my work in the art industry.
