In 2021-22 Shoba worked with [Kois Miah](https://koismiah.co.uk/), a photographer based in east London specialising primarily on projects that combine photography with community participation for social change.

They successfully gained [UCL Community Engagement seed funding](https://www.ucl.ac.uk/ucl-east/community-engagement-seed-fund) to collaborate with members of east London’s diverse communities in online workshops sharing our experiences of illness, healthcare, and Covid-19.

Diverse Voices Panel Event

We created images with smartphone cameras, took part in co-design workshops to address barriers to engagement with research and conducted a panel discussion and portrait exhibition at the Brady Art Gallery with participant’s images and professional portraiture taken by Kois.
