PRIM is a digital platform for storytelling borne out of not seeing enough Queer Black stories and stories, in general, of people of Black ancestry. From pieces to read to photography and an author’s catalogue, PRIM is showcasing the varying mediums used for storytelling, created and told by people we resonate most with. PRIM also hosts OKHA, a monthly queer + Black book club.

K Bailey Obazee is Founder and Director of PRIM, a platform for storytelling which also produces OKHA, a monthly queer + Black book club.

She has so far collaborated with Aesop, British Vogue, AKO Caine Prize, worked as a researcher for Arts Council England, and been featured in The New York Times and Harpers Bazaar, as well as had guest appearances with Resident Advisor, Apollo Theatre, and gal-dem. Born a Nigerian and raised in East London, building for and with her Queer & Black community is numero uno for K.

The Young ICA Network is a hub for young people aged 16 – 25 who are interested in art, writing, politics, and connecting with other young people. Throughout the year, we hold skills-based workshops led by artists, community talks, reading series, and much more at the ICA. Young people from Westminster get free memberships and we aim to work with schools, organisations, and individuals located in the borough, but our programming is open to all young people.
