What Happens When Healing Is No Longer Clinical — but Communal? Where does care begin — in the hands, the heart, or the remembering? A dance-theatre ritual by Joachim Keke – DO NOT MISS IT
TAKING PLACE ON THURSDAY THE 13TH OF NOVEMBER at The Theatre in the Mill, Bradford
Presented as a work-in-progress within the Untitled 4 Cohort
In The Clinic of Remembering, multidisciplinary artist Joachim Keke invites audiences into a space where healing is reimagined through movement, memory, and collective breath.
Rooted in Afro-Fusion and Afro-Contemporary dance, the work transforms the stage into a living clinic — a site of speculative care where rhythm replaces prescription and remembering becomes medicine.
Drawing from his own experiences — from the communal warmth of the past, where neighbours shared meals and offered seats without words, to the cold formality of systems where care now feels cautious and bureaucratic — Keke asks what becomes of empathy when it is mistranslated, when pain is numbered, and when names become paperwork.
The Clinic of Remembering reflects a world in transition: where the healthcare system feels fractured and human connection is quietly eroding. He continues to ask — what happens when care no longer lives in systems, but in bodies, gestures, and shared remembering?
“Care is not a whisper.
It trembles, it sweats, it breathes.
I move not to perform — but to remember.
In this clinic, we do not fix — we listen.
We do not prescribe — we breathe.”
Through these moments, “The Clinic of Remembering” searches for a world where care can once again be felt, not managed.
“Maybe speculative care is not the future,” Keke reflects, “but the past we left behind — calling us back, softly, through the noise.”
Blending dance, spoken word, light, and sound, Keke’s piece travels from remembrance to rupture, from fragmentation to renewal.
Red light meets gold; breath meets silence; care is redefined — not as cure, but as coexistence.
The result is a ritual of remembering: tender, defiant, and deeply human. It explores how movement can heal, connect, and recall what has been forgotten.
Merging technology with tradition — the ancestral with the futuristic. “The Clinic of Remembering” asks not just how we survive, but how we belong.
This is not a performance to watch. It’s an experience to feel — a call to breathe, to move, and to remember together.
Born on the 8th of March 1996, WILLIAM LAST KRM has often be described as one of the funniest comedians in Southern Africa.
He is a popular comedian known for his hilarious sketches on social media, He is also a digital content creator, influencer, actor, musician and has his fingers in so many pies.
William Last has spoken about struggling in school, and sometimes feeling like an outsider, but he has been able to turn these challenges into strengths that have embraced success.
During a trip to Kano in July, I paid a visit to my mother’s alma mater, St. Louis Secondary School, Kano. I was accompanied by a friend, Dr. Abdullahi, from Bayero University, Kano.
On arrival, the first person we met was the Hausa teacher, who was an indigene of Kano. Dr. Abdullahi was surprised to learn that it is compulsory for students at both the primary and secondary school levels to learn Hausa. I, however, was not.
You see, I’ve observed a quiet but consistent pattern across the country, one that places the Catholic Church as an unheralded defender of Nigeria’s indigenous languages.
Years earlier, in Calabar, the Catholic Board of Education was the first institution to approve my Efik language books for use in schools. Recognising the need for students to access more modern materials for learning Efik, the Board’s Secretary even wrote a recommendation letter endorsing my books for use across Catholic schools within the Calabar diocese. Those books have now been in continuous use for over four years in nursery, primary, and secondary schools across Calabar, an experience that has given me a front-row view of how institutional support can sustain the vitality of an indigenous language in education.
This commitment isn’t unique to Calabar. Across Nigeria, Catholic schools often make the study of local languages compulsory. In the South East, students must learn Igbo; in the South West, Yoruba; and in the North, Hausa. This consistent emphasis on linguistic identity sets Catholic schools apart in a time when many government institutions struggle to find teachers or maintain effective indigenous language programs.
While public schools in Calabar and other Nigerian cities, often lament the “lack of teachers” problem, the Catholic Church continues to prioritise and institutionalise the teaching of African languages. This is not merely an educational choice; it’s a form of cultural preservation.
It is my belief that state governments across Nigeria have much to learn from this model. By partnering with religious institutions that already have structured educational systems and a sense of mission, we can ensure that our languages do not slip into endangerment, but instead, remain living vehicles of thought, heritage, and identity.
The Catholic Church may not always make headlines for it, but in many ways, it has long been one of the silent defenders of African languages.

Lateefat Tobun: The Quiet Architect Weaving a Future Where Fashion, Art, AI, and Business Thrive Together
In a world often dominated by noise and novelty, real innovation begins quietly with those who build systems that last.
Lateefat Tobun is one such architect: an economist, artist, and digital couturier whose work fuses strategy, technology, and design to shape the future of the UK’s creative economy.
Holding a BSc in Economics and dual MSc degrees in Economics and another in Applied Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics, Lateefat bridges the gap between data and design. Her rare blend of analytical precision and artistic imagination enables her to transform ideas into scalable, sustainable ventures that merge beauty with intelligence.
As Managing Director of Latheevah Limited, her UK-based manufacturing and retail company, Lateefat is redefining how creative businesses evolve in a data-driven world.
Her mission is clear: to build frameworks where fashion and technology don’t compete, but collaborate to create value that endures. That philosophy came alive in her innovative Colour to Digital Couture workshop at Bradford City Library, where traditional fashion took a digital leap.
The event transformed the library into a “style lab” where artists, students, and enthusiasts turned handmade designs into digital couture using AI tools. Featured twice in the Telegraph & Argus, the workshop celebrated community creativity and technological empowerment. “It’s about giving people permission to play, explore, and see technology as an artistic tool,” Lateefat told the press. “I wanted to show how something made by hand can evolve into beautiful digital art.” Lateefat’s creative influence extends beyond the studio. She was one of three artists behind the “Stronger Together” mural at The Thornaby Hub in Clayton, Bradford, a powerful public artwork addressing mental health and social unity which is a part of the Healthy Minds Untold Stories initiative supporting Bradford 2025: UK City of Culture, the mural turned a community wall into a statement of resilience and collective hope.
Her upcoming selections for The Corset Revival Project and “Our Turn” exhibitions further cement her position as a forward-thinking fashion innovator. Her work “Resilience Woven: A Story of Redefined Stitches” reimagines the corset once a symbol of restriction as one of empowerment and sustainability through reclaimed materials and AI-informed craft.
From digital couture and business innovation to community art and cultural leadership, Lateefat Tobun represents the new face of British creativity. She operates not for attention, but for impact quietly building a future where fashion, art, AI, and business thrive together in harmony.
Editor’s Note In an era where the lines between creativity and technology are blurring fast, few innovators embody this convergence as naturally as Lateefat Tobun. From digital couture to data-driven business design, she’s redefining what it means to lead in the modern creative economy.
Her work bridges fashion, art, and artificial intelligence, not as competing forces, but as collaborators shaping a more resilient future. In this feature, we explore how this quiet architect is helping build a new framework for British creativity, where imagination meets intelligence and innovation
