CATALYST

This anthology, CATALYST, features stories from artists of colour exploring pivotal moments that spark change, showcasing both joy and disaster.

Collecting stories from a diverse array of artists of colour across the UK, CATALYST brings their unique voices together under a single, thought-provoking theme: 'catalyst'. Each narrative explores the pivotal moments that spark change, whether through small, personal events or grand, historical revelations. In one poignant tale, the accidental witnessing of a horrific scene transforms an ordinary day into a harrowing experience, while another story uncovers the hidden truths behind a monumental achievement like putting a man on the moon.

From reflections on misplaced memories to struggles with identity, CATALYST delves into the consequences of both significant and subtle actions. This anthology showcases a blend of established and emerging artists, each contributing to a rich tapestry of narratives that illustrate how a series of events can lead to joy or disaster—or sometimes both. The collection invites readers to engage with the complexities of change and the myriad ways it can manifest in their lives.

Edited by Ayoola Solarin, this captivating anthology encourages reflection on the situations, individuals, and occurrences that might serve as catalysts for transformation, both personally and socially. With contributions that are as eclectic as they are powerful, CATALYST stands as a testament to the importance of diverse voices in the conversation about change and progress.
