In January 2023, I curated 21-Day-Conversation, a three-week exhibition and pop-up shop across two locations on Lillie Road, West Brompton, which was featured on BBC Women’s Hour.

Over the course of 21 days, 42 artists were consciously paired to spark dialogue across a rich diversity of practices including fine art, fashion, jewellery, illustration, graphic novels, poetry, and writing — many meeting for the first time.

Each day brought two new artists to The Pop Up space, with some creating live work on the day, offering visitors a rare glimpse into their creative process. At the close of each day, the artists contributed a piece to an evolving group exhibition at a neighbouring venue, which grew over the 21 days into a collective show featuring all 42 participants.

The project was supported by The Earls Court Development Company and culminated in a final event on 29th January, where visitors could meet all the artists and purchase handmade work.
