2- About the Art Interview by Horniman Museum.
“There are clear points of crossover between art and policy. Dima’s curated conversations and focused approach on what we share, the local places we inhabit, and the wider meaning of geography all created space for local people and council team members to participate in the creative mapping of the borough and the policy-making process in a new way.” Paul Aladenika, Head of Policy and Strategy, Lewisham Council.

4- Art and Policy: Research Residency, Art Book and Exhibition. Article by We Are Lewisham.
“In a world constantly shifting balance, it is important that we ground ourselves within a vision of solidarity and inclusion. In my Creative Investigation into Lewisham’s meaningful places and how they inspire and shape its people, I wanted to bring locals together to talk about the place we all share rather than the diversity of our differences.” Dima Karout, Project Lead
