I'm Ikesha - an exhibiting Artist, Writer and Creative Director. @iyaarts_ is a nomadic art school centering Global South Heritage practices I am piloting. We deliver workshops across arts and craft to adults and young people within community and organisations. We've partnered with a charity and museum this year. Going ahead we are looking to work with further Artists-Teachers, obtain free/nominal rate hosting space for pop up courses and push our offline and online marketing. @oneandwe_ is a publication I founded highlighting grassroots individuals doing globally significant work. Ahead I want to expand into working with my aspiring or qualified journalists and writers to contribute as I work towards a print edition. DM me for further information.

They wrote out their skills, their businesses, what they’re building, in their own words, to nobody in particular.
I was genuinely inspired going through them. A whole network of people on missions, all reaching for each other, buried in a comment section where nobody can actually connect.
So I made a directory. Their own words, searchable, each card linking back to their Instagram. A better way for them to find each other.
8,124 comments read. 7,489 of them were somebody introducing what they do. The rest were shout-outs and praise.
