Photojournalism nominee

Thousand was protested in London in front of the US embassy building to end institutionalized racism. The demonstration on the 7th of July, 2020 was organized as a sympathy demonstration for the Black Lives Matter protests in the US. Although many news reports tried to depict the protests as violent or as a desperate copy of the American demonstrations, British police brutality and institutionalized racism are evident in the everyday lives of many Brits. According to the charity Inquest, a total of 1,741 people have died in police custody or otherwise in England and Wales since 1990 after contacting the police. My pictures were taken during the protest to represent those who still have to fight for an equal representation in our society.

My photos have been exhibited in Berlin, Milan, Göteborg, London and at the Glastonbury Festival in 2022, 2023, 2024.
