Created to be shown on billboards, Let Me Show You Who I Am delves into themes of diaspora, migration, and Irish and Black identity. The artworks have been created through a dynamic series of workshops exploring Black and Irish legacies of community activism and creativity across the UK.

Co-presented with Liverpool Biennial 2025, the works reflect on the artist’s Irish, Sierra Leonean, and Syrian family histories, creating powerful visual narratives of belonging and identity. The artworks will be shown publicly on billboards across Wishaw Terrace and around the city.

Bringing together contributions from local ceramicists, historians, musicians, and dancers, this iteration of Let Me Show You Who I Am offers a vibrant platform for young people to engage with histories of resistance, solidarity, and cultural expression.

! Includes in-depth discussion of experiences of being raised as mixed heritage, queer, and gender non-conforming.
