This is a Wellcome Trust & Arts council funded research led well-being project for BAME boys in London. The project was created as a direct response to the rise inyouth stabbings, which sparked a series of reactionary approaches from thegovernment regarding tougher criminalisation of youth, more stop and searchesand greater police presence in minority communities.
These approaches inspired me to explore a public health approach which resulted in the successfully delivered 8 month project.

How I found my calling
Creativity is the source of life in this ever changing world we live in. Understanding what I as an artist brings to the world has required exploring all of my passions, from stringing a few words together, to picking up a camera to share as well as empowering others to share their own stories along the way, to travelling around the world immersing and learning from new cultures – all the while putting creativity , fun and play at the centre of everything I do has been my route to finding mine….
Now let’s find yours.

'Adekunle has been an excellent facilitator, providing inspiration, fun and rigour to the Agency process. Battersea Arts Centre would be delighted to work with him again. His sessions are high quality, well organised and enjoyable for participants. They are geared to young people’s own lives and his work is reactive to current affairs and wider issues'
