Mariam features in this film, and it has been touring across the UK alongside the costume she wore for it.​ July - October 2024 Come As You Really Are Eight of our costumes were featured in an art exhibition titled 'Come as You Really Are' by ArtAngel and Hettain Patel.

Mariam featured on 'Stitch, Please!', a show which aired on BBC 3 and BBC 1 Northern Ireland. Hosted by Blu Hydrangea, this show saw competitors race against the clock with 12 hours and £100 to complete a costume based on a theme they were provided with. August 2021 Fast Fashion Isn't Cheap Mariam was commissioned as part of Common Wealth Theatre's (National Portfolio arts Organisation) 'There Is An Alternative' exhibition. This exhibtion invited artists to explore alternative ways of doing things, which are not considered the norm. For her piece, Mariam explored alternatives to fast fashion. She produced four full outfits, all upcycled or made from scratch, with animal heads to tell the story of a fast fashio garment. This was accompanied by an online space, accessed via QR codes at the exhibition, that provided more information about the fast fashion industry (research contributed by co-creator Natasha Pearson) May 2019 Cosplay at the British Museum Tabatha was invited as one of six cosplayers to promote the press release for the British Museum's Manga exhibit in May 2019.

Sparkie & Ceres TheSparkofRevolution & CereselCosplay We are Tabatha (thesparkofrevolution) and Mariam (CereselCosplay), a cosplay duo based in the United Kingdom. ​ Our focus is on the promotion of diversity within the cosplay community at all levels. As minority cosplayers ourselves, we (like many others in the community) are growing tired of seeing the same thing in every conventions guest lineup. We run diversity panels and discussions at conventions (see our video archive for more), and we have experience as guests, judges and masquerade hosts (more on that here ). We have been attending and panelling at conventions across the world (from the UK and Europe to America and Japan) for over 15 years. We can run a variety of panels including but not limited to: Cosplay how-to panels for beginners Diversity Panels Mythology & Ancient History panels Astrophysics & Astronomy panels. ​ Further information on these panels can be found here . We are well well acquainted with the cosplay community, moderating a number of UK based cosplay groups, as well as regular meet up and shoot runners both inside and outside of conventions. We have experience with competition; Tabatha has come runner up for the C4 qualifier at MCM, and Mariam was a participant on the BBC’s Stitch, Please! programme in 2022. As such, we can bring valuable insight to the cosplay aspect of your event. ​ For more information about the various ways in which we can work with you, click here .
