Photojournalism nominee

In a rural town in Hungary, a state-owned mine towered over a Gypsy community. After heavy rains caused a devastating mudslide, the Gypsies' homes were buried. The government, with the help of the state-controlled media, falsely classified it as a natural disaster in order to avoid responsibility. Although they promised, the government ultimately did not compensate the Gypsies. The operator of the mine was not held responsible either.

I am a Hungarian-born Roma photographer living in London. My documentary photographs are centred around themes of human rights activism, LGBTQI+ and Gypsy, Roma and Traveller (GRT) experiences. My photos have been exhibited in Berlin, Milan, Göteborg, London and at the Glastonbury Festival in 2022, 2023, 2024.
