Imagination Without Borders
Stories and Supper was founded in East London in early 2017. We want to challenge the negative headlines about refugees while bringing people together over delicious food. I started volunteering with this Charity in 2018 when I moved to London. A friend recommended it because I was homesick and didn't know how to handle the feeling. Since then, I have participated in workshops, suppers and events. I had the opportunity to take portraits for their two books. They are my community.
This series is part of an exhibition during Refugee Week 2023. Visit Back to Ours Cafe in Leytonstone at Good Shepherd Studios.
From 17th to 25th June.
