Kiki, a fourth-year student of Economics and International Relations, and BAME representative within the University’s LGBTQ+ Network, explains how their experience of arriving at St Andrews from India as a queer student encouraged them to take action through art, academia and activism. In addition to their academic pursuits, Kiki contributes to social entrepreneurship through Enactus St Andrews, addressing issues like maternal mortality in South Sudan, food insecurity in St Andrews and managing non-commercial glass waste. They explore their creativity through film, photography and Indian Classical dance. Art and social impact take the centre stage of their initiative – Recolouring the Queer.
