I’m Nadina and have a background in architecture &amp; spatial design - currently working in the Art Department for Film/HETV.My previous practice predominantly focused on community spaces, exploring their narrative and social value. Taking on an anthropological approach to design, some of my design research explored the local high street and how everyday spaces such as fried chicken shops, black beauty shops and pubs provide a cultural sanctuary for underrepresented communities.PRESS Creative Lives in Progress - ‘Four runners on how they landed their first roles in the film world’ Bringing The Spice exhibition at Raven Row Gallery UAL Stories #UALSummerShows2019 Voices https://nadinanarain.co.uk/Deadpool-Wolverine Fri, 11 Oct 2024 17:21:40 +0000 Nadina Narain https://nadinanarain.co.uk/Deadpool-Wolverine DEADPOOL &amp; WOLVERINE MARVEL STUDIOS / DISNEY 2024 Junior Draughtsperson https://nadinanarain.co.uk/Loki-S2 Thu, 13 Oct 2022 23:29:59 +0000 Nadina Narain https://nadinanarain.co.uk/Loki-S2 LOKI - S2 MARVEL STUDIOS / DISNEY 2022 Art Department Assistant https://nadinanarain.co.uk/Secret-Invasion Thu, 13 Oct 2022 22:40:27 +0000 Nadina Narain https://nadinanarain.co.uk/Secret-Invasion SECRET INVASION MARVEL STUDIOS / DISNEY 2021 Assistant to the Production Designer https://nadinanarain.co.uk/Oi-bossman Thu, 14 Nov 2019 21:35:27 +0000 Nadina Narain https://nadinanarain.co.uk/Oi-bossman OI, BOSSMAN FRIED CHICKEN SHOP RESEARCH 2018-2019 Part of my research for my MA project involved exploring fried chicken shops as cultural safe spaces, using a mixture of illustration and video to highlight their importance to certain community groups.

The Borough of Croydon is in a state of decline whilst waiting for the new Westfield development. Spaces commonly seen on high streets such as pubs, black beauty shops and fried chicken shops that provide cultural safe spaces fordifferent community groups are all at risk of closing in the midst of this decline.This scheme proposes an expansion and protection of these safe spaces through a temporary scheme located in the former Allders department store. It questions to what extent can ameanwhile/temporary scheme provide the community of Croydon with valued and meaningful spaces and reanimate a static high street. The scheme aims to expand these familiar safe spaces anduse them as thresholds into a larger community space that provides access to arts and injects life back into the high street. <img width="11811" height="14708" width_o="11811" height_o="14708" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/071a30e180ad5ded92f1a5a13e1777038f4851fb4247f73b166ab515330af7f8/1m-width-drawing-copy-copy.jpg" data-mid="54752322" border="0" data-scale="85" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/071a30e180ad5ded92f1a5a13e1777038f4851fb4247f73b166ab515330af7f8/1m-width-drawing-copy-copy.jpg" /> Axonometric illustration of community scheme in the former Allders site <img width="2479" height="2356" width_o="2479" height_o="2356" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3ae65392adcd57d16560bc630c6a8e928017706812ed977d43dc34d45bf7d8ea/Untitled-3.jpg" data-mid="54752180" border="0" data-scale="90" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3ae65392adcd57d16560bc630c6a8e928017706812ed977d43dc34d45bf7d8ea/Untitled-3.jpg" /> <img width="2744" height="2632" width_o="2744" height_o="2632" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2b0d3911c28947faa39592ec931df6aa52554a59a901c76cdaeebcc872dbe77d/Untitled-2.jpg" data-mid="54752181" border="0" data-scale="90" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2b0d3911c28947faa39592ec931df6aa52554a59a901c76cdaeebcc872dbe77d/Untitled-2.jpg" /> <img width="2953" height="2943" width_o="2953" height_o="2943" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fc96ffa3f7193ccc6b77cff25ae9d8528b45a6403689843682c6f5ccf02abad3/Untitled-1.jpg" data-mid="54753091" border="0" data-scale="91" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fc96ffa3f7193ccc6b77cff25ae9d8528b45a6403689843682c6f5ccf02abad3/Untitled-1.jpg" /> https://nadinanarain.co.uk/Hot-N-Halal Thu, 14 Nov 2019 22:48:33 +0000 Nadina Narain https://nadinanarain.co.uk/Hot-N-Halal HOT N HALAL MA EXHIBITION | WINDOW INSTALLATION 2019 <img width="1495" height="1254" width_o="1495" height_o="1254" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/02f01bc95b8b70e5566e496b9ff1a4e583d0a860f216d71bb084ee8838a74975/DSC05822-copy-3.JPG" data-mid="54753810" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/02f01bc95b8b70e5566e496b9ff1a4e583d0a860f216d71bb084ee8838a74975/DSC05822-copy-3.JPG" /> Window installation located within the grounds of Chelsea School of Art <img width="1496" height="909" width_o="1496" height_o="909" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/146f7b3c1eec2d86049f1fa31580ab8c886e6b038a8b23059be82839f7fdd719/chicken-shop-elevation.jpg" data-mid="54754803" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/146f7b3c1eec2d86049f1fa31580ab8c886e6b038a8b23059be82839f7fdd719/chicken-shop-elevation.jpg" /> Illustration of the shopfront for the proposed community scheme https://nadinanarain.co.uk/Friday-night-antics Wed, 21 Apr 2021 20:37:13 +0000 Nadina Narain https://nadinanarain.co.uk/Friday-night-antics FRIDAY NIGHT ANTICS PUBS - DESIGN RESEARCH 2019 <img width="9933" height="14043" width_o="9933" height_o="14043" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/986581dec525f2305648cd062b7800ccb62bf16815b9275fe60b6bcda62506fd/a0-plan-1-to-20.jpg" data-mid="106016005" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/986581dec525f2305648cd062b7800ccb62bf16815b9275fe60b6bcda62506fd/a0-plan-1-to-20.jpg" />Green Dragon pub on Croydon high street https://nadinanarain.co.uk/Urban-regeneration-for-who Thu, 14 Nov 2019 23:37:02 +0000 Nadina Narain https://nadinanarain.co.uk/Urban-regeneration-for-who UBRAN REGENERATION FOR WHO?
