The Black Exodus Handbook is a zine exploring the black experience in the UK. As part of the launch, Danny Bailey and Alizée Ndiaye curated a joint exhibition at Brixton House Theatre showcasing 10 artworks from Shai and Carl Dusu's collection.

​

Dates: 15th January - 17th March 2024.

Alongside 4 amazing artists, Shai was commissioned to create artwork and a Ciroc bottle inspired by KOKO.

Her piece "On My Block" 

embodies the sense of community, intimate nature, and patterns that run through the rooms at KOKO. She showcases 

Black Joy in an environment that is often perceived as a negative stereotype - the idea being that enjoyment can be found in places others may not expect or understand.

In celebration of International Women's Month 100 creatives showcased their work across 4 floors of Adidas' flagship store in London.

​

Inspired by the incredible photographer Kwari England, this piece celebrates a shared experience and bond through afro hair.
