A Decade of Change
From The Suffragettes to The Civil Rights Movement, The Indian Independence Movement to The Arab Spring - a belief exists that positive change is possible. If change is possible, inevitable even, then another belief follows: collectively, each and every one of us has the ability to direct that change, rather than simply go through it.
Protest has always been a vital part of any democracy, and I feel very fortunate to have been present at many demonstrations fighting for human rights over the last 10 years. From the Black Lives Matter Movement, to anti-apartheid marches, and protests against misogyny and violence against women.
These photos serve as a visual record of people fighting for change. However, only time will tell which way the change will go.
