My morning commute to the school in Kiev where I am working on my new project ‘Children of Vision.’
As part of ‘Women’s History Month’ I’ll be talking about the female gaze in relation to photographing children. Taking place at Chisenhale Art Place on 4th March. I’ll show the latest work from my project “Children of Vision” and give an introduction to some of my favourite women photographers working today.

Last Thursday was the opening of ‘The Disinherited’ at theprintspace gallery in East London. It was such a great night and thank you to everyone who came along. The exhibition continues until 17th October, Monday-Friday 9-7pm, 74 Kingsland Road E2 8DL, so theres still a chance to see it!
Below is a bit of info about the show and exhibiting artists:
‘PHOTOMONTH EAST LONDON 2016 launches with The Disinherited, a show of specially commissioned work by three talented and culturally aware photographic artists: Alina Kisina, Heather McDonough and Ed Thompson,curated by Maggie Pinhorn Director of Photomonth East London.
Each photographer has chosen to follow a subject of social significance. The main title of the show is inspired by an early work of Picasso painted in 1903*.
Children of Vision
Alina Kisina a Ukrainian born artist has documented the children of a special school of art for the blind/partially sighted in Kiev. In a touching and immensely positive project she uses the medium of portraiture to transcend the stereotypes of ‘ability’ and ‘disability’ to illustrate how creativity can transform lives.
Leave to Remain
Heather McDonough found that volunteering in the French refugee camps led to a steady stream of encounters – with residents whose fragile lives have unravelled, fragmented and reconstituted in a remote and strange place – and with objects, whether waiting for their purpose to be fulfilled or lying spent and discarded, or else in limbo, useless and abandoned.
Big Red
Ed Thompson chose to write a visual essay on homelessness. ‘Big Red’ is the story of Stuart whose circumstances led him to turn his back on the stresses of London living in favour of a nomadic existence in his Big Red van. Ed embedded himself with Stuart to capture his uncomfortable but optimistic life.
