‘Everyday Superstars’ is a documentary film commissioned by New Art Exchange recording the process of Artist Hassan Hajjaj photographing Nadia Latoya, who was nominated by the community as a local ‘superstar’.
‘We take you behind the scenes in this short documentary about our Nottingham-centric commissioned portrait by Hassan Hajjaj…
Our Everyday Superstars project invited audiences to nominate extra-special individuals from the city; calling for activists, campaigning for social change, supporters of young people, individuals who have accomplished in the face of adversity, or simply who have amazing talents worthy of recognition.
The nominations were made and Nadia Latoya was announced as our winner. Nadia was styled and photographed by Hassan Hajjaj and now her portrait hangs in the gallery alongside Hajjaj’s other Rock Stars as part of the exhibition The Path which showcases colour, community & culture and creativity.’
