As an artist and curator of Jamaican heritage who lives on the Yorkshire East coast, it was an absolute delight and a buzz to see the Diasporas Now programme detonating here in Hull at Humber Street Gallery. Born out of lockdown, Diasporas Now was founded in 2021 by Rieko Whitfield (Japan/USA), Paola Estrella (Mexico) and Lulu Wang (China) whilst they were all at the Royal College of Art.
