ABOUT THE SPEAKER
May’s Theme is NOW.
These days, the “nows” hurry past us, shoved aside by the “next” — the urgent to-do’s, the latest breaking news. Constantly anticipating and staging for our future decimates our experience of the present. Our “now” vanishes, like water flowing through our fingertips.
That’s why we’re incredibly thrilled to explore capturing ‘now’ with photojournalist and writer Adib Chowdhury.
Adib has worked in policy for the UN, govt. NGOs, and as a photojournalist. His photography focuses on forced migration, identity, and human and environmental issues. Whilst living in Lebanon he documented forced migration from the Syrian conflict, followed alongside and photographed refugees as they made their way through Europe in 2015.
In 2017 he documented and took witness statements of survivors of the Rohingya genocide on the Bangladesh/ Myanmar border. He now lives in London.
Adib will give a snapshot of his career and creative process but also a look at the very practicality of being a freelance creative now.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS
We look forward to seeing you in-person at Samsung KX space in Kings Cross (the entrance is right across from Dishoom).
