Nabiséré Nicole

Artists

Growing up between the UK and Uganda, Nabiséré Nicole gained a unique perspective on the complexities of belonging and identity. After graduating from Central St Martins Womenswear, she established KAKAZI studio in 2018. This came at a time when she was seeking authentic representation of African and Caribbean experiences within the fashion industry. A space in which she also wanted to foster connections with people who shared a love of design, community and storytelling. 

Based in London UK, KAKAZI studio is a multidisciplinary lifestyle brand platforming the nuances of contemporary womanhood.

KAKAZI oral histories is a global archival platform sharing intergenerational interviews and discussions of the African and Caribbean diasporas through story telling. Exploring themes focused on culture, heritage and community we intend to celebrate the multifaceted layers of trans cultural experiences.

2025

In 2025 Nabiséré ran workshops at Peckham Platform’s Circular Square event, which invited local people to Peckham Square to explore the connection between people, place and the natural world, through food, conversation and creative activities for all ages. This event was part of Memories for the Future, a two year programme exploring stories of migration and belonging in Peckham.

Earlier in the year Nabiséré ran a series of workshops she described as Curated Gatherings, celebrating wisdom and lived experiences passed down through generations.

2024

In 2024 Nabiséré was involved in our one-year Rye Lane Reconnected project, taking part in an artist discussion with Zethu Maseko.
