Kassy is an Ikebana practitioner trained in the Sogetsu school, holding a teacher’s diploma from Tokyo since 2025. Ikebana is the Japanese art of flower arrangement, grounded in attentiveness to line, space, movement, and the relationship between human and more-than-human life. Her practice centres on live, improvised Ikebana performance, where arranging becomes a way to explore memory, migration, and the everyday gestures through which a place becomes inhabitable.
Her Ikebana works have been exhibited internationally. Recent projects include:
Kassy is also a writer and editor with years of experience collaborating with migrant artists, and works as an advocate and facilitator, coordinating initiatives with underrepresented communities to foster inclusive and welcoming spaces. Her approach to community engagement is grounded in both lived experience and academic study, including an MA in Migration and Diaspora Studies from SOAS University of London.
