Chess Charles

I’m Chess, I’ve always loved telling stories, and living in East London has been a constant inspiration with a strong and dynamic culture intrinsic to my identity. As an artist and digital-designer, I’ve tried hard to find a space to kickstart my career. STEP into the Smithsonian will provide me with invaluable experience and networking opportunities, as well as the chance to develop my ideas. I’m looking forward to bringing what I’ve learnt about culture in the USA back to East London, using this to influence and improve my community here.
