MTV EMA 2020

GENERATION CHANGE AWARD COMMISSION

I was commissioned to design the 2020 MTV EMA trophies into a one-of-a-kind piece of art for each of the winners selected in the Generation Change Award category. The MTV EMA Generation Change Award recognises young women who are doing powerful work on the frontlines of the fight for racial and social justice across the globe. The winners are: Luiza Brasi, Temi Mwale, Catherhea Potjanaporn, Raquel Willis and Kiki Mordi

I’m so inspired by each of the individual winners who come from all over the world. Their commitment to change their communities and positively impact society is not only outstanding but motivational. My hand painted designs incorporated my signature style of afro-pop-futurism, patterns and symmetry whilst drawing on their individual personal history and achievements of being social change trailblazers.

(Design One)

I'm so happy to share the finished mural. Created by myself and Linett Kamala. Curated by Bolanle Tajudeen creator of Black Blossoms.

Security cameras are further to the right highlighting the hyper surveillance of young Black British men and scattered around the mural are visa stamps proclaiming Black Futures.

I wanted to create a piece that represented the new generation who are lucky to influenced by all these cultures in one space. It plays on the saying ‘it takes a village to raise a child’. I tried to show the different cultures by using patterns from African print to Arabic style calligraphy and oriental floral prints. The Mural was hand painted using acrylic paint and spray paint. It took 2.5 days to complete. Size 3.5m x 2m

Mural Two

I created the ‘Rebel Squad’ to show appreciation the woman that are fighting for basic rights that we take for granted such as basic education.

Details was hand painted using acrylic paint and spray paint. It took 1.5 days to complete. Size 4m x 2.5m
