Get to know one of London’s up-and-coming artists Karimah Hassan. Real-life yet a raw depiction of her community with bold lines and striking colours are what Karimah’s known for. Here are 5 questions.

What do you do to unwind after a long day?‍

Depends on how long we are talking... if I can, then a dance or walk in with a good soundtrack, if it’s gone past that point then a bath and some candles does the trick!



What food are you looking forward to eating on Ramadan?‍

Dates! I mean.... I eat them all the time, but they are the first thing I think of when I think of Ramadan. After that, mama's samosas come a good second.

What do you treasure the most in the current city you live in?‍

Do you have a life soundtrack?‍

Yeah, I have this secret playlist on YouTube called ‘heart songs’ that I’ve been adding to for years, it has every song behind every major event in my life.
