Kadyrova Street

2020


Winner of the Dean's Collection Award 2020. Shortlisted for the MullenLowe NOVA Awards 2020.

This video was created during UK lockdown. It is meant to convey to audiences at home what it would’ve felt like to watch ‘Fittings’, my one-woman show, in a theatre. In no means a replacement for the live performance, ‘Kadyrova Street’ is an augmentation and a story in itself: by emphasising the complexity of my relationship with Moscow and Tashkent, I explore the stereotypes young Central Asian migrants encounter on daily basis.
