Protest
Since 2015, I’ve been protesting and photographing those protests, mainly in London, in order to create a visual record of collective action and solidarity on the streets, as well as to share the images with the movements and raise awareness of the causes. I’m passionate about using photography to document important campaigns and preserve these historical moments. Over the years, I’ve photographed a wide range of movements, including women’s rights, climate justice, anti-racism, LGBTQIA+ rights, migrant justice, workers' rights, and sex workers' rights, among others. I’m also interested in exploring how protest exists outside of large-scale marches, especially in more private spaces, and in capturing the different ways it shows up in our everyday lives.
Most of my protest work is archived at the Bishopsgate Institute
‘‘Bishopsgate Institute has become known as one of the major archives of contemporary protest in the UK, taking a proactive approach to archiving by engaging with protests and campaigns as they happen. These collections are preserved at the Institute to inform and inspire future generations. Angela’s incredible, empathetic and powerful photographs have become central to these collections and this mission. We are honoured to hold them.’’
