ABOUT


Dami Khadijah [pronounced ‘Kah-dee-ja’] is a London-based Strategy Director, Creative Director and writer working across culture, audiences and media.

Her practice begins with insight: finding the human tension beneath a brief, question or observation, then developing the strategic foundation, creative framework and words that allow the idea to take form.

Her career spans branded content, publishing and social-first media, with experience across BBC StoryWorks, CNN, Refinery29, and Twitter, alongside global brands and cultural institutions.

Across her independent work, Dami explores the intersection of art, anthropology and the human experience through writing, moving image, cultural programming and original formats. Her work includes the Tribeca-selected film ‘Allumuah’, African cinema platform Mother Drum and visual project ‘Born in the West, Raised by the East’.

She is also the founder and creative lead of an upcoming space, a selective multidisciplinary house and creative practice developing original work, cultural experiments and chosen commissions.

TATE MODERN


Curatorial Speaker / 2018
For Tate Modern


Tate Modern’s Uniqlo Tate Lates is a series of special late nights offering an opportunity to see the latest exhibitions and displays, hear music from up-and-coming DJs, watch rarely-seen artists’ films, and join in with interactive events.

Held in October 2018 as part of Black History Month, I curated and presented a talk session on the theme of ‘Migration Stories’.

The title ‘how migrant families navigate identity and the contribution of African migrants to Britain’ covered the topic of black migration from an alternative experience than the Caribbean one we are commonly familiar with in history and art here in the UK.
