Born Inna Capital (2023)
Born Inna Capital explores the interpersonal relationships of being born and raised in a capital city. Comprised of 5 sections, Education, Nature, Access to Space, Capital and Disruption/Reclaim, this written body of work includes elements of a city upbringing. It explores how these personal experiences differ from the next.
Melissa’s Final body of writing for their time in Ba Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art was submitted as a pdf but intended for printed publication. A Purchaseable Edition will be available soon.
A soundtrack was curated alongside the publication to give a personal listening experience that supports the essay writing. This can be found below.
