malakaï sargeant: producing stories worth telling and carving your own path

malakaï is an artist and cultural producer from pre-gentrified Hackney. They like to create work that disrupts the performer/spectator relationship, dissecting subjects like queer intimacy, generational trauma, gentrification, environmental racism and Black Britishness.

Both as an artist and cultural producer, malakaï has created/presented work with the likes of Soho Theatre, SOAS, Serpentine Galleries, the Royal Exchange and the Royal Court. malakaï is an alumnus of the Barbican Young Poets, and has since independently produced and directed work by other Black writers, pushing the boundaries of form and storytelling in live performance. malakaï also delivers anti-oppression consultancy independently as well as with organisations including Fearless Futures and Sour Lemons with clients across the cultural, charity, tech and financial services sectors.

In 2014, malakaï co-founded producing theatre company The S+K Project, where they were Artistic Director until 2019. malakaï is currently Associate Director at Theatre Peckham and is Co-director of Afro-diasporic literary movement BORN::FREE. malakaï serves as a Trustee for Hackney Showroom and London International Festival of Theatre (LIFT), and is Chair of LIFT's Tottenham Board.
