Diana Bamimeke is a curator, writer and transdisciplinary artist from Dublin via Nigeria, primarily interested in curating and creating socially engaged art.

Their first piece as part of the programme is in response to Alison Pilkington's Mudlarking. You can take a look back at that exhibition here. The response is called 'Looking Well - A Dub’s Reward' and explores the perspective of those raking for survival in the city.

You can read Bamimeke 's bio and read/listen to their full response on the Mirror Lamp Press blog here.
