The Khadija Saye Arts programme - IntoUniversity
20 April 2022
IntoUniversity is a United Kingdom-based charity that aims to help disadvantaged young people gain a place within a higher education.
Khadija Saye Arts at IntoUniversity was founded in September 2019 and Khadija’s mentor, the visual artist Nicola Green, in memory of Khadija Saye.
Khadija was a Gambian-British artist and former IntoUniversity North Kensington student, who tragically died in the Grenfell Tower fire on 14th June 2017, aged just 24. Despite her young age, she achieved recognition as a hugely talented artist and had already produced significant work, showing extraordinary promise for the future, and was the youngest artist to be exhibited at the Diaspora Pavillion at the 2017 Venice Biennale.
It was a pleasure to support the Arts Mentoring programme - devising & delivering a programme 'Imagination is a Resource' & a Masterclass on ‘Communicating Ideas - How to build and present a portfolio’ - students were engaging and passoniate about being in the creative industries.
