Nothing represents the spirit of the times and the resilience of the community as acutely and accurately as the annual London Trans+ Pride. Pride is a protest! It’s always a joy to support and document this ever growing event.

'Never The Same, Something Else' Private View at the Old Diorama Arts Centre
I documented the opening event for 'Never The Same, Something Else' exhibition, supported and hosted by the Old Diorama Arts Centre.
'Never The Same, Something Else' is an immersive exhibition curated by a group of artists from Central Saint Martins. Their week-long show has been accumulated following a 7-week project led by their studio manager, where the artists researched and responded to artworks by BIPOC Artists from the UAL Art Collection and the British Artist's Film & Video Study Collection through a series of workshops. The students have used the archives to collectively and playfully draw upon a continued history with the works - one which is never the same but something else.
