"Misan Harriman states, 'this exhibition isn't about one cause', highlighting that it reflects a broader social impulse to protest during times of upheaval."
"Harriman notes, 'you can go on a journey seeing what I have been able to bear witness to', inviting viewers to engage with the experiences captured in his photographs."
"He recalls, 'I've photographed people who don't see me as a human being as a Black man', illustrating the complex dynamics of identity and perspective in protest."
"Harriman expresses that visitors to the exhibition often 'pour their hearts out', recognizing the shared struggles and solidarity among the communities represented."
Misan Harriman's exhibition 'The Purpose of Light' features a collection of protest photographs taken over seven years, now permanently displayed at Hope 93 in London. The installation includes images from protests in the UK, US, and South Africa, capturing significant events like the responses to George Floyd's death. Harriman emphasizes that the exhibition transcends a single cause, focusing instead on the collective social impulse to protest and the solidarity among diverse communities during times of upheaval.
