Tamuna Chkareuli: The sun is our father, the moon is our mother, the stars are our brothers and sisters
“The sun is our father, the moon is our mother, the stars are our brothers and sisters.” This is something that people say before meals in communities for those with special educational and mental health needs in Georgia. Instead of having a family that supports and cares for them, many such Georgians have been exploited, kicked out to the streets, or end up in institutions where they have only two options. To be abused, or to become the abusers themselves.
Nowadays, many are living in commun...
Saad Eltinay: We are the resistance
Following an extended build-up, April 6, 2019 marked an acute change in the lives of many Sudanese individuals. A resilient uprising that profoundly shook the ambitions, sentiments, and prospects of the people.
A crude, collective act of resistance and revolution leads to a sit-in protest in Khartoum. As an active participant, I see it as a concentrated manifestation of a fragile, wounded nation. A diverse country experiencing a moment of flux; simultaneously in a state of breakthrough and sk...
Janice Chung: Motherland
This series is an ongoing photographic journey that began over three separate trips to South Korea. I first visited the country in 2014, aged 22, where I met my maternal family for the first time. We then reunited for a second time three years later, in 2017. The third visit, in 2019, was unplanned due to the sudden passing of my grandfather. My mother accompanied me each time, and we always stayed at her parents’ home – usually for about one to two months at a time. During these trips, we sp...
Sam Elstub: Lived space
I found photography through skateboarding. Growing up, it provided a means to document friends skating in the streets of our hometown, or to capture moments when we travelled to certain skate spots. While skating and skate culture have remained constants throughout my life, the places I skate and the people I skate with have changed over time. This project is an attempt to represent that dual change.
Skateboarding by nature must exist within space. But there are infinite possibilities for ska...
Inside Kazakhstan's Baikonur Cosmodrome, the world's largest operational space launch facility
The Baikonur Cosmodrome – the oldest and largest space launch facility in the world – is located about 20 miles (32 kilometers) outside the Russian-administered town of Baikonur, Kazakhstan. Once a clandestine Soviet-era missile testing site, it sits within the expansive semi-desert of the Kazakh Steppe and is jointly maintained by the Kazakh and Russian governments. Having once served as the launch pad for both the first satellite and the first human to ever enter space, it is now mostly used to send Soyuz astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS).

In pictures: Organisations around the UK help out during the pandemic
The lockdown and social distancing measures introduced in March 2020 in the wake of the global coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak have caused significant economic problems for individuals and organisations around the U.K. and across multiple industries. With the majority of people staying at home, many businesses have had to either close temporarily and look to the government for support, or adapt their business model to avoid permanent closure. Amid a constant need for more personal protective equipment (PPE) for the pressured NHS, national shortages of hand sanitiser, and growing socio-econ...
Photos: Boris Johnson-led Conservatives win UK elections
Securing more than 360 out of the 650 seats in the House of Commons, the Conservative Party led by Prime Minister Boris Johnson won the overall majority in the U.K.'s third general election in less than five years.
