DNA swap

A project exploring cultural and creative DNA between communities and students in Moscow and London.
The project was presented in association with the Grad Gallery in London.
Over a period of 3 months students from two Design Universities, British School of Art and Design in Moscow and Fashion Communication at Middlesex in London swapped, shared and developed visual research with together that expressed their own perspective on creative DNA and influences. The project culminated in a showcase at the Grad Gallery London and the public were invited to bring along something personal that represented their own creative/cultural DNA, which could  then be combined with other material produced by the students.
Creating new shared narratives.
The Hackney Street Style School

A SLASHSTROKE project that aimed to make a real connection between East London Youth and industry by inviting Designers who’s work was inspired by or reflected aspects of ‘street style’ to donate outfits for a short period. Around this we operated workshops in photography, styling and image making offering a number of young participants a clear connection between creativity, productivity and aspiration. Creating a platform to further education, opportunities and career paths.
