Salut! I’m Soumya, a fresh and bright MA student at UAL. I have enjoyed working in film production, surrounding myself with art, managing creative industries and exploring cultural spaces. But I was desperate for something more, my life seemed limited and I didn’t see much more potential for growth. So, moving to London, in a way, seemed fated.
However, actually being here has been….an experience, to say the least – moving houses three times in two weeks, getting lost in the maze of subways and bus routes, navigating a growing cost of living crisis in this city, unavoidable endless lonely nights and then missing everything that signifies a semblance of home; the same I was convinced I would find somewhere else.
In spite of my story so far, or maybe because of it, I still wake up increasingly excited every day. I want to see myself grow and experience a lot more and I hope this blog can track my journey through it.
