For the first time ever, the BFI Flare Festival featured a selection of immersive projects from LGBTQIA+ artists working across emerging technologies such as interactive Virtual Reality, screen-based installations and 3D-scanning. Exploring themes of identity, belonging, selfexpression and vulnerability, these powerful and visionary works aim to shift perspectives and give new insight into our increasingly complex world.

This was my second time working with curator Ulrich Schrauth on creating an exhibition for the BFI Expanded franchise. On this occasion, I commissioned and supervised the production and delivery of one of the works on show titled "Treasure is the Journey". Created using archival material and testimonies from the Pride of Arabia (POA) community, the piece is a reflection on the co-formation of identities and communities as an ever-continuing process. POA is a feminist, queer, anti-capitalist community committed to a world-building practice and focused on unlearning embodied racism, capitalist value systems and colonial approaches to history.
