Overview
The Eastern European Photography Club: Newham Through Our Lens is a photography club open to all, serving as a platform for Eastern European migrants in Newham to tell their unique stories through the art of photography and a safe space to share ideas and experiences.
The photography meet-ups, run by renowned photographer Paulina Korobkiewicz, are dedicated to sharing narratives and discussions around visual storytelling; documenting Newham from an Eastern European perspective, capturing everyday life, focusing on the themes of identity, and belonging, collective memory, and community voices.
