Project description:
BINYAMEEN
We love telling stories and what what better to do so than to create our own fictional character! In our collaboration with Ian (a fellow Mancunian!), we identified the following themes:
To create an alternative lead protagonist, but rooted in place.
Address contemporary social/economic/environmental issues through story-telling.
To open up the amazing world of architecture and design to a younger audience/demographic.
To create an on-going social media, story-telling narrative for digital natives.
Using Ian’s distinctive style, we wanted to create a character who embodies the spirit of SA Studio, whilst lending a voice to the ‘other’ Our little hero is a 2nd Gen. Brit with South Asian roots and a proud Mancunian at heart.

From Ian Morris
‘My collaboration with Suliman Alla Studio is a story-telling social media narrative about a young boy called Binyameen. We want to create a dialogue between the studio and the audience through the use of a character that is relatable and who we can all aspire to be like’.
