About

Habib Hajallie champions figures from ethnically diverse backgrounds who have traditionally been omitted from British portraiture. Though born in Southeast London, Habib’s drawings are often informed by his Sierra Leonean and Lebanese heritage.

The impressive body of work presented here strives to readdress the lack of visibility of figures from global majority ethnic backgrounds by questioning our ideas of what it means to be British, as well as the uncomfortable nuances that are associated with this. Ultimately, Habib’s work looks to inspire a conversation and embolden people who feel as though they have been labelled as the ‘other’ in any way.

Gallery Opening Times:

Weekdays, 12pm – 5pm
Weekends, 12pm – 4pm
