Poet Lola Oh’s workshop titled ‘Legacy’ enables participants to reflect on and develop their sense of identity within the context of their lived experience and art practice. It is connected to the Milk and Honey exhibition running at Brixton Library and open to everyone.

Lola Oh is a Black British poet, photographer and facilitator. Lola was born to a Jamaican mother and a Nigerian father and is currently based in South London. Through her poetry, Lola uses her work to explore family, loss, and ideas of Black womanhood. Through photography, Lola uses her creative eye to document the world around her, distilling the essence of human emotions in the mundane, or intimate moments of everyday life. In 2023, Lola’s poem Bad Daughters was shortlisted for The White Review’s Poet Prize.
