West Hampstead
The Diaspora Project
2023
AZAM's landmark public display of original paintings across London for the first time.
The "Diaspora Project: London (1970 - 2023)" project by AZAM celebrates and explores his life and experiences across London's diverse neighbourhoods over a period of four decades. Through this project, AZAM will exhibit his original paintings at various locations within London where he has resided intermittently, between 1970 and 2023, including West Hampstead, Cricklewood, St. Pauls, East Ham, and Islington. This immersive art installation will not only serve as a personal reflection on AZAM's journey since migrating from Pakistan in 1970, but also engage the communities within each location, inviting them to connect with the artist's evolution over the years.
