Resilience: 2022

2020 was a landmark year, marking the start of Covid-19 and worldwide protests sparked by the death of George Floyd and police brutality. Inspired by the hope that 2020 was a global tipping point in the history of black people all over the world, the photographs attempt to capture the essence of what it means to be young and black in Britain at that point in time. A generation that has inherited the traditions of racial oppression and injustice but who also invest their lives with a hope that was simply not possible in the past. The project documented young black people living in Britain following the political climate created by the black lives matter movement and during a global pandemic.
