We are incredibly sad to hear of the sudden death of Sam Malik. Sam was a generous and giving person, and at every opportunity chose his platform to uplift others and open up opportunities for creatives in the city.
Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time.

ALT Two wing-backed red velvet armchairs positioned slightly apart from each other on a wooden floor. A man (left) wearing nightclothes sits in one chair, his left arm outstretched, his index finger pointed. A woman sits on the arm of the other chair, wearing nightclothes also. She holds her pregnant belly with her left hand, her right arm stretched towards the man's, also pointing her index finger. Their fingers almost touch. The backdrop behind them appears to be of stitched together skin, a shadowy figure in the centre. Green and white text across the top of the image.
