About **Sheyamali**:
Sheyamali is an interdisciplinary artist, art and wellbeing practitioner, and freelance arts project manager. They grew up in Redbridge and currently reside there.
In their artwork, they use movement, drawing, sound, film, and writing to explore both their connection and dislocation from nature and the land that they are surrounded by. They are interested in how place, specifically the histories and geographies of both rural and urban places, relate and connect diverse groups of people.
Sheyamali has facilitated projects at numerous galleries and mental health organisations in London, including Tate, National Gallery, and the mental health charity Mind.
