Some news: I’m moving to Lebanon to be a Middle East Correspondent for @nytimes.com. I was honored to cover East Africa for nearly six years during a momentous and shifting period. I’ll miss the region and my wonderful colleagues across Africa. Excited for new stories and great collaborations ahead.

In honour of #WorldRefugeeDay, I made a film for Tate exploring how art can help us understand forced migration. The film is inspired by my book "Strangers" by Tate Publishing, which examines migration through the lens of art.

My piece for @theguardian.com is about my arrival in London as a child refugee—discovering a strange new world and taking joy in custard cream biscuits, yum yum doughnuts, and 90s pop legends East 17. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Good morning from Palermo.
My latest piece for BBC News is about a striking new exhibition by Nairobi-based art collective Kairos Futura, which has been working to reimagine some of the city’s more dystopian elements into a vision of utopia—or at least explore how that might be achieved.
