In this episode I speak with Don Travis, photographer and co-founder of Future Hackney.

Don has lived in Hackney almost her whole life and is passionate about her community and it's cultural diversity.

Future Hackney is a public art project, telling stories of the area and it's people's through photographic imagery in public spaces.

We talk about her current displays, Gillet Square Stories and Protest Stories - both of which are currently live and can be seen in Dalston and Hackney, respectively.

We also chat about current issues facing the East End and the country at large. We discuss how Don's documenting of protest groups such as; Just Stop Oil, Extinction Rebellion, Trans Lives Matter, Black Lives Matter and many more, alongside the current strike action have given Don optimism for a more positive future.

Don is a really strong and inspirational woman, so it's fitting that this episode is released on International Woman's Day 2023.

Enjoy.
