Hope Reimagined: Art Workshop

Hope Reimagined is produced by Sagal Abdullahi and Hiba Chaatouf, BAC Young Producers.

The workshop is facilitated by Tyreis Holder.

Tyreis Holder is an Artist, Poet, Visual Storyteller and Community arts practitioner from South London, with heritage reigning from Jamaican/St Vincent. She works heavily in mediums pertaining to installation, textiles, performance, poetry, sculpture and sound. Her practice centres around explorations of self, identity politics, generational/ancestral healing, spirituality, and the relationship with the mind, particularly within regards to navigating colonial spaces. Primary grounds for exploration pertain to how textiles poses as poetic language, functioning as a healing device- specifically in regards to trauma experienced by black women. Bringing lived experiences into her practice, she aims to generate conversations around how social and intimate spaces are shaped through race, diffability*, community, heritage, class, sexuality and culture.

Sagal Abdullahi is a grassroots community organiser, creative producer and arts practitioner working across the mediums of photography, film and particularly audio storytelling. Based in Southwest London, her work is centred around championing community expression and non-mainstream histories. She is inspired by the power of sound and archiving, and has audio-engineered and produced various projects including an oral archival series centred on migration and nature, as well as a travel podcast. She is also the co-founder of Barakah LDN, a grassroots female football collective and community space for minoritised women and girls.

Hiba Chaatouf is a visual artist and creative producer based in Southwest London, specialising in Arabic calligraphy, botanical arts, logos and illustrations. Her artistic expression is diverse, blending various mediums such as painting and textiles, to multidimensional craft pieces, often on canvas. Her work is heavily inspired by her Islamic faith, as well as a passion for nature, buildings, and literature, encapsulating a rich tapestry of influences. Having completed her recent book cover illustration, botanical inspired mural, and a variety of canvas collections, 2024 sees her embarking on officially opening her art brand ‘Hayattis Pallete’ as the Founder Artist.
