Taking Space, Making Space: Reflections from Under Our Skin
Under Our Skin is an exhibition that looks closely at what we carry beneath the surface: the lessons we were taught, the masks we learned to wear, and the moments when those masks begin to crack. Through diverse queer perspectives, the exhibition explores how identity is shaped, tested and embodied. These works remind us that what gets under our skin often stays with us, shaping who we become. While rooted in LGBTQ+ experiences, the exhibition speaks to something universal th


London Art Fair 2026: Should I go or not?
I almost didn’t go to the London Art Fair this year (even with a press pass). My brain was already full and the idea of adding one more thing to my mental to-do list felt…ambitious. But I went. In a low-pressure, no-expectations kind of way and I’m glad with that approach. What I loved straight away was being welcomed by textile work at the entrance. Soft, tactile, patient. It felt generous, and honestly refreshing. I really hope textiles keep taking up more space in the comi


A cloud in the hand
Visiting the Gaza Biennale’s Istanbul Pavilion at Depo felt less like entering an exhibition and more like stepping into a conversation. One that invites you to sit down, listen, and reflect.

It wasn’t about spectacle or grand statements or long texts. It was about connection, about holding space for stories that matter. So


A Day at Frieze London and Masters 2025: Too Much, Too Fast.
I spent a few hours at Frieze this year, and as always there was a tremendous amount of art to see. If you try to cram everything into one day (which I did), you’ll walk away with a sense of exhilaration and exhaustion. I know for myself I can’t spend a whole day inside a fair and, to be honest, I don’t want another full-overwhelm experience. Drawing boundaries between work and passion felt important this time. This year, the young galleries were placed right at the front of
