The 24-year-old artist had her work exhibited in Venice and was filmed by BBC Two for their documentary Venice Biennale: Sink or Swim.
A spokesperson for the broadcaster told The Mirror that the show, which was due to air tonight at 7.30pm, would not be shown “for obvious reasons”.
Khadija, who was a resident on the 20th floor of the building in West London, recently gushed about the opportunity to be a part of the documentary.
According to the publication, she emailed Creative Access, which helps young black and minority ethnic people get started in the creative industries and aided Khadija by finding her an internship early in her career, updating them on the recent development.
Just two weeks ago, she reportedly wrote: “Just a quick update on life! I’m part of an exhibition currently on show at the Venice Biennale, and the Contemporary Arts Society did a review on it.
“There will be a BBC2 programme on the exhibition airing mid-June and I’ve been featured int he documentary as being the only artist under 30.”
The Contemporary Arts Society gave her work a stunning review, calling her photography “wonderfully strange” and “bearing heavy emotional freight”.
Khadija’s career appeared to be burgeoning on the edge of recognition when her life was tragically cut short by the horrific incident at Grenfell Tower on Wednesday morning.
Last month she shared her joy at being a part of the exhibition on Diapora in Venice, posting a Facebook status that read: “It’s been a real journey, tears shed, highs and lows, but mama, I’m an artist exhibiting at the Venice Biennale and the blessings are abundant!”
She is thought to have been in her flat with her mother Mary Mendy when the fire broke out and her death was confirmed by friend and Tottenham MP David Lammy yesterday when he took to Twitter, saying: “May you rest in peace Khadija Saye. God bless your beautiful soul.
“My heart breaks today,” he continued. “I mourn the tragic loss of a wonderful young woman.”
