Hello, Its Lena

An innovative multidisciplinary artist who captures the untangling of black expression and the strangeness of humanity amongst nature within her creations. Specialising in the production and facilitation of Performance & Multi-Media art, my practice indulges in devising and workshopping Intersectionality within art and Spoken Word Poetry as a means of developing communication towards the prominent issues facing the diverse Black population across the UK. With my artistic work serving as a documentation of the rising and dying cultures & politics thriving within our BIPOC youth & communities. 

During my studies at RCCSD University (2021-2024) I completed a BA ‘Performance Art’ degree where I gained prolific training in devising transformative artistic visions, debuting pieces that experimented with melding together social political & anti-colonial dialogue through the challenging of traditional forms of Western Contemporary Art. Spending 3 years directing community-based projects and creative programming within the formed Collective ‘ItchTheScratch’, I’ve vast training in facilitating hospital spaces and workshopping environments for play and experimentation that are designed to be inclusive of the marginalised communities within the UK. This procedure feeds into my current projects with my practice working as a movement to signify the importance of diversifying the talent within the Arts sector, it is essential to me to produce artworks and events that facilitates a space for minorities and marginalised groups to feel seen and heard.
