Seyedeh at Refugee and Migrant Centre, Bird Street

Dr Seyedeh Naseriniaki is the Founder of Chrysalis Craft Coventry CIC. She describes herself as citizen of the world striving to make a positive change for immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers. She has worked with migrant communities for the last seven years using art and different artistic methods for wellbeing. Seyedeh gained her PhD in Architecture and Design from the University of Genoa. She has worked with national and international NGOs and charities, including Fairtrade and MSF UK, Médecins Sans Frontières.

For Artist On My Street, Seyedeh will work with a refugee group and explore the theme of Green Futures. The group will produce pieces of collage using materials that usually go to waste such as plastic bags and newspapers. Mother Earth and protecting our planet is Seyedeh’s prime inspiration and motivation.
