Where Are You From? - with Sabina McKenna

Hello and welcome back to another episode of No Offence, But!


In today’s episode Ayeesha chats with Sabina Mckenna; writer,
curator and the creator of the Where are you from? project: a
photojournalistic series about cultural identity. 


 


Sabina writes predominantly in interview style and has been
featured locally and internationally in publications that include


Art Almanac, Broadsheet, Archer, Acclaim, i-D, G-IRL (London),
Ladies of Leisure, Catalogue Magazine, and Hopes and Fears (NYC).


Her diverse creative portfolio explores themes of identity and
belonging, and she is involved in a range of creative initiatives
and institutions, which has included Future Girl Corp, Frieze Art
Fair in New York and The National Gallery of Victoria.


Where are you from? has achieved local and international acclaim,
with features in press publications that include The Age, The
Sydney Morning Herald, Frankie Magazine, iD UK, Fashion Journal
Magazine, Acclaim Magazine, ArtsHub, Zee Feed, Vice, Broadsheet,
ABC Life, ABC Radio, Triple R and FBI Radio Sydney.


Sabina is of Nigerian and Irish ancestry, born and raised in
Australia, and a child of diaspora. She shares about what
it’s like trying to connect to a culture you’re so from, the
romanticisation that comes into play and what happens when you
don’t have that burning desire to go back 'home'. Plus, Sabina
shares on her experiences of the ‘where are you from?’ question,
which led her to start the platform, the risk of thinking that
BLM has a completion point and the importance of loving yourself.
