Arteh Odjidja is an award-winning photographer whose work explores themes of identity and community. Born in London, he draws inspiration from his West African heritage. His projects aim to highlight the stories of those often overlooked in society, and challenge our sense of privilege and equality.

In this short talk, we will discuss his project, The Stanger Series: Fears & Dreams. The work explores the very personal and dynamic stories of young migrants and refugees, adapting to a new existence; these timeless and candid portraits allow the audience to delve deeper into the complexity of migration.
