Introduction

The first in a new series of works triggered by the uprisings of the early 2010s, including the Arab Spring and riots across global locations including London and the artist’s home town of Vancouver, these photographs focus on two scenes associated with events in London in August 2011: Mare Street in Hackney Central, and Hackney Downs, where events were focused around the Pembury Estate.
