Brother
This project was made in collaboration with asylum seekers and refugees resident in one of Birmingham’s government assigned hotels. Conversations and workshops took place with men from the hotel, inviting participants to take part in photographic activities, including large and medium format, digital cameras, collage and AI technology. Portraits were co-created and AI images produced reflecting on the men’s experiences, journeys and future.
