ARTIST'S STATEMENT //

Future Hackney is a social profit organisation that combines documentary and co-authorship to create a hybrid genre of photographic storytelling. Our exhibitions are inclusive, working at the intersections of photography and social engagement.

Based in East London, we document Dalston’s history and present communities, alongside protests, carnivals, street culture and urban heritage. We are a grass roots led initiative, who use digital and analogue mediums to tell stories and through street and documentary photography.

We create photographs, oral histories, reminisces, community dialogues, street galleries, living archives, online platforms, social media, print and press co-authored with communities.

We facilitate young people and intergenerational residents in our creative, skill-based workshops, whilst producing a professional photographic archive. For more information see our community page.
