At the British Museum
During her time on the International Training Programme 2021, Choki was based in the Asia Department and her partner placement was spent at Norfolk Museums Service.

In 2021 participants were asked to plan and propose a temporary exhibition on the theme of journeys, drawing on their existing museum experience and the skills learnt during the programme.  Choki worked with Sopheara Chap (Cambodia) on her Object in focus project. Their exhibition proposal was titled Bosphorus boat crossings: Turkish shadow puppet journeys.

Choki’s place on the ITP was generously supported by the Marie-Louise von Motesiczky Charitable Trust.
