For this episode Matt is delighted to welcome Morley College London alumni Hannah Uzor, who completed her studies last year.
Hannah is currently studying her MA at the Slade in London after winning the Milein Cosman scholarship for drawing. Hannah was born in Zambia but spent a few years in the UK while her father was studying in the UK and then moved back to Zambia to complete her Primary and Secondary education. After secondary school she joined Zambia National Arts Council and was one of the youngest members taking part in national and international exhibitions. In 2003 she returned to the UK to complete studies in computing. In 2016 Hannah decided to focus on her art. Obtaining an art qualification was now Hannah’s priority, but costs and time constraints of studying at University meant she wanted to seek a more flexible and cost effective option, Morley College London was her choice and she studied at the Chelsea Centre for the Creative Industries from 2019-2021.
In 2020 her painting of Sarah Forbes Bonetta was acquired by English Heritage and displayed at Osborne house in October for Black History Month.
‘Painting our Past” which was covered widely in the media including the Times, the Guardian, the Economist, BBC History and British Archaeology.
Student Co-Hosts: Christine Udoh and Che Dorant.
