Tribu-te in print
I contributed to the 2023 Summer and Autumn print issues of Tribu-te magazine. I produced persuasive product copy for brands and helped curate and write the culture pages. Tribu-te is a high-end publication for the top 20% of the hairdressing industry.
My work for Tribu-te (print) includes compiling the arts and culture pages.
This included writing copy and choosing photography. I researched cultural areas of interest, including upcoming exhibitions, shows and films to feature. I connected with press teams at art galleries to receive press packs and essential information about exhibitions and events.

An Agatha Christie book adaption is always a good idea, especially when it has fabulous costumes, mise-en-scene and hair and beauty looks. We’re impressed by A Haunting in Venice which features author Dame Agatha Christie’s reoccurring character Detective Hercule Poirot investigating a murder while attending a Halloween seance in Venice, Italy. This is an adaption of Agatha’s 1969 book, Hallowe’en Party, and is showing in cinemas all over the UK. Accessible to all- discuss the story…obsess over the costumes and hair.
Armet Francis: Beyond The Black Triangle
Autograph, London
An exhibition showing a photographic mission by Armet Franics spanning 40 years: To document and celebrate the experience of African diaspora cultures. Armet Francis immigrated to Britain in the late 1950s from Jamaica, subsequently turning to photography to share and connect with the Pan-African world. Armet is known for his social documentary, advertising and fashion images. Some of his work includes fashion shoots at the Brixton market circa the 70s. In 1969 he began working on a now celebrated project, The Black Triangle: People of the African Diaspora and Children of the Black Triangle. Here is an update.
Luxury & Power : Persia & Greece
The British Museum, London
A compelling exhibition which explores luxury as a political tool in the Middle East and Southeast Europe from 550-30 BC. Essentially, this exhibition explores the complex story of how the royal Persian Achaemenid court used precious objects as markers of authority. Whether you are interested in history or not, the exquisite gold, silver and glass objects are certainly something to see.
