Spitalfields Studios is a collective of artists, designers, musicians, and filmmakers, part of SAFE (Spitalfields Arts Facilities and Education), an organisation set up to foster arts creation and interaction within the local community of Tower Hamlets. From 2021 to 2023, I worked with the studio as a freelance Curator, building and managing a programme of group and solo exhibitions alongside a series of live events including workshops, screenings, print sales, open studio days, performance nights, and artist walks and talks. A key part of my role was nurturing collaboration within the network and developing partnerships with local organisations, including First Thursdays in partnership with the neighbouring Whitechapel Gallery.

During this time I curated three major group exhibitions — From Scratch (2021), Galvanise (2022), and New Wave (2023) — collectively featuring over 100 artists. I also hosted Rainbow Collective and No Sweat UK to present Rana Plaza and the Resistance: Ten Years On, alongside Artistic Ode to Bangladesh, the second London solo exhibition by Shamsul Alam Innan. My role spanned the full lifecycle of exhibition-making, from concept to completion, as well as event planning, artist support, social media management, and fostering opportunities for creative collaboration across the studio community.
