liz johnson-artur's photos celebrate black communities, black aesthetics and black creativity |...

Liz Johnson-Artur is in Brixton's Windrush Square, surrounded by people are making the most of one of the last evenings of summer; eating, drinking, listening to music. Sometimes, they wander over to where we're sitting, in the far corner of the square, to take a closer look at one of her portraits, which will be projected onto the walls of the Black Cultural Archives every night for the next week.

Estate: A Reverie is a lyrical portrait of an old-fashioned red-brick estate in Hackney. It's an obsessive search for the truth of the place, compulsively documenting its history, its sounds, its colour, its people. We see the Haggerston from every possible angle, with an almost microscopic focus on every stairwell, window, and brick.

Feminism is Not Your Marketing Ploy, And We Don't Need What You're Selling
