Developed as part of the EAF Civic Programme, Let Me Show You Who I Am is a two-part project by Alice Rekab that delves into themes of diaspora, migration, and Irish and Black identity. The artworks in their first iteration have been created through a dynamic series of workshops with young people in Liverpool, exploring Black and Irish legacies of community activism and creativity. They will be displayed across billboards as part of Liverpool Biennial in June 2025.

Co-created with the SCORE Scotland young people in Wester Hailes, these works in development will bring a new iteration of billboards to Edinburgh that reflect on the artist’s Irish, Sierra Leonean, and Syrian family histories, creating powerful visual narratives of belonging and identity between Ireland and Scotland. The artworks will be shown publicly in August on billboards across Wishaw Terrace and around the city.

This project begins an ongoing series of work with EAF Civic Programme and Alice Rekab.
