#BiennaleArchitettura2025 Special mention as National Participation to the #BritishPavilion. “A dialogue between Great Britain and Kenya about reparation and renewal. The Pavilion reveals architecture as architecture that is defined by extraction that produce inequality and environmental degradation. The Jury notes attempts to imagine a new relation between architecture and geology.”

It's brilliant to see record level of Sikh representation in Parliament.
It was the privilege of my life to be the first Sikh woman elected to UK Parliament. Congratulations to all my new @UKLabour colleagues - I look forward to working together.

#BiennaleArte2024 #ForeignersEverywhere Silver Lion for a promising young participant to #KarimahAshadu. “With a searing intimacy, she captures the vulnerability of young men from the agrarian north of Nigeria who have migrated to Lagos and end up riding illegal motorbike taxis. Her feminist camera lens is extraordinarily sensitive and intimate, capturing the bikers’ subcultural experience as well as their economic precarity.”
Skinder Hundal MBE retweeted
#BiennaleArte2024 #ForeignersEverywhere Golden Lion for the Best Participant to the #MataahoCollective. “It has created a luminous woven structure of straps that poetically crisscross the gallery space. Referring to matrilinear traditions of textiles with its womb-like cradle, the installation is both a cosmology and a shelter. Its impressive scale is a feat of engineering that was only made possibly by the collective strength and creativity of the group.”
Skinder Hundal MBE retweeted
#BiennaleArte2024 Golden Lion for Best National Participation to the #AustraliaPavilion. “In this quietly powerful Pavilion, #ArchieMoore worked for months to hand-draw with chalk a monumental First Nations family tree. Thus 65,000 years of history (both recorded and lost) are inscribed on the dark walls as well as on the ceiling, asking viewers to fill in blanks and take in the inherent fragility of this mournful archive.”
