change your style

change your style is a poetry film that explores childhood, hair, and intimacy. I was inspired by experiences of braiding, pulling attachments, cutting, trimming, and transformation in the salon and bedrooms.

I performed ‘change your style’ at Sunday school’s hairstyle exhibition at Peckham palms in august 2019

whilst attending a brooklyn brothers’ x yellow zine programme called ‘night school’ , i wrote + directed my first poetry film called ‘change your style’. It premiered on youtube in november 2019.
