Khadija Saye’s art work was celebrated at the Venice Biennale alongside some of British art’s biggest names, now three years after her death in the Grenfell fire disaster, it is lining the streets of Notting Hill as a reminder of her talent and legacy.

An art project commemorating the life of Saye – the Gambian-British artist who was among the 72 people who died in the Grenfell fire disaster – has been launched in London with the aim of addressing the lack of diversity in the UK arts sector.

David Lammy, the Tottenham Labour MP, launched the Khadija Saye IntoArts Programme, an educational initiative focused on developing the arts in disadvantaged communities and putting on public exhibitions of art, the first of which is nine screen prints of Saye’s work.
