1) DESTINATIONS

SHOREDITCH is the London neighborhood where world-class graffiti, murals, and street art are woven into the fabric of everyday life, turning ordinary alleyways, warehouse walls, and storefronts into canvases. It’s basically an open air art museum, and politically conscious as well! I pulled up last year and one huge bonus is that the historic Bangladeshi community around Brick Lane is right there, so I had some of London’s best Bangladeshi cuisine after a day of immersing in some of the world’s dopest urban art.

2) WHAT TO LISTEN TO

WAIT FOR ME is the new track by MC Abdul from Gaza and Nai Barghouti–the acclaimed Palestinian singer, composer, and flutist–who adds haunting vocals that elevate the song’s emotional depth. The collab gives voice to the experiences of young Palestinians living through occupation, genocide and displacement. With raw honesty and poignant reflection on loss, hope, and resilience, “Wait for Me” is an authentic expression from two extraordinary Palestinian musicians whose perspectives deserve global attention.
