Palestine solidarity movement marked one year of opposition to Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza.
I took a bunch of photos, which a selection of I’m sharing below.

Rowan James' & Deaf Rave's sharing event at The Old Diorama Arts Centre
I documented a sharing event for the collaborative project between Rowan James and Deaf Rave. People were invited to test the dance floor designed to conduct vibrations corresponding to all sound and bass levels and as such allowing deaf people to fully experience music without hearing it. The event was hosted and supported by The Old Diorama Arts Centre.

I documented the sharing event for Jo Cork’s Audio Visual Haptic Project.

Loudest Whispers 2022 at Old Diorama Arts Centre
I started my collaboration with Old Diorama Arts Centre with documenting the opening of the Loudest Whispers exhibition.
‘Curated and presented by The Arts Project, the exhibition celebrates the strength and power of the LGBTQ+ community, including work from 34 artists linked to an open category and the theme of ‘Politics in Art’. It features both professionally trained and self-taught outsider artists as well as creative supporters of LGBTQ+ rights.’
Green Party - #ProtestIsNotACrime
As the government’s Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill (the Policing Bill) reaches a crucial stage in the House of Lords, the Green Party launched a campaign to Save the Right to Protest.
Today’s protest in Westminster included speeches from Natalie Bennett, Jenny Jones, Caroline Lucas and Zack Polanski.

Chisenhale Dance Space at All Points East Festival
I documented the day of classes at the All Points East festival’s Dance Tent. The Chisenhale Dance Space teachers run their free classes for different age groups.
Encounter Bow 2021
I documented Encounter Bow, a day of free outdoor arts for the local community. Produced by Chisenhale Dance Space and curated by Moi Tran, the free arts programme included contemporary dance, live art, plant soundscapes, audio walks, balloon art, origami sculptures, book readings and more—for all ages.
The projects playfully explored community care, spaces of joy and the importance of sharing and collecting stories.
With participatory experiences from Anna Sulan Masing, Caro Gervay + Lily Ly, Eelyn Lee, Jason Singh, Kimvi, Moi Tran, ShumGhostJohn, Quang Kien Van and Roman Road Trust.
Kill the Bill protest in Central London
I joined and documented the demonstration against the new Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill*. The turn out was great and it was fantastic to see various groups and communities from across the society protesting together.
Per usual I also portrayed the presence of my fellow photographers/videographers.
*The Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill proposes to give police in England and Wales more power to impose conditions on non-violent protests, including those which are deemed too noisy or a nuisance.
