Beyond Borders

In 2017, I was commissioned by Imrana Mahmood to design promotional materials for a photographic exhibition called Beyond Borders: The Art of Integration which celebrated the positive contributions of British Muslims in the UK.

The event, celebrating Luton's diverse heritage, opened at Stockwood Discovery Centre on Thursday, April 20. It was launched in front of a packed audience and featured a photographic exhibition with images from photographer Peter Sanders capturing the cultural diversity of the Muslim world, and examples of work from local photographers capturing inspiring moments around the town. The launch event also showcased the official screening of a short documentary produced by Imrana in collaboration with Luton-based filmmaker, Lydia Howe. The film focuses on those making amazing contributions to the town, including a musician, tattoo artist and youth worker. Imrana said: "I am immensely proud of Luton and passionate about creating a new body of work which captures the richness of our town. "It was time, for me personally, to promote and highlight all the things that make Luton a fantastic town to live in."
