Selected as one of FAD Magazine's 'Top Art Books To Read This Summer', 2023: 'This is an interesting look at how the front room of a household of first generation immigrants reflects their values, culture and the history of colonialism – a fascinating topic. It’s largely focused on Caribbean households, but the display cabinets and doilies also reminded me of my own parent’s household.' – Tabish Khan, FAD Magazine
