About this listen

 In this episode, I’m delighted to be joined by Gherdai Hassell — a Bermudian-born, China-trained, multidisciplinary artist, creative director, designer, and storyteller, now based in Manchester, UK. Gherdai’s work investigates memory, nostalgia, and identity, weaving together family histories and tales of transformation through powerful collages and multimedia installations. Centering female bodies that exist across past, present, and future, her practice explores diasporic narratives and reimagines Black futures through a lens of afrofuturism. Gherdai’s work is held in public and private collections around the world and has been exhibited in Bermuda, the US, UK, Nigeria, Cuba, South Africa, Mali, and China. In this conversation, we explore her journey through various mediums, the impact of funding and community on her practice, the role of social media in creative expression, and the power of generosity within the art world.
