New Londoners: Reflections on Home 
The New Londoners come from around
the world, with diverse experiences and backgrounds. They are aged from 16 to 23, and come from ten different countries. The participants all share one common experience: they are young refugees separated from their families and homes, who are
re-building their lives in London.
Photographer mentors on the project are: Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin, Gayle Chong Kwan, Marysa Dowling, Suki Dhanda, Jillian Edelstein, Liane Harris, Crispin Hughes, Anna Kari, Anthony Lam, Jenny Matthews, Jo Metson Scott, Sarah Moon and Ilona Suschitsky, and Othello de Souza Hartley.
The project aims to provide a creative public voice to new Londoners. By allowing the young people to represent themselves as they want to be seen and heard, we hope the book will make a creative contribution to the broader asylum debate. Their stories personalise and individualise the lives behind the labels – through their images and words, we understand something more of London itself, and of their lives as young people finding their place in a new city, far away from home.
Through the work we glimpse a side of London little seen and understood, from the point of view of some of the city’s newest arrivals. It reflects on their experiences of home: both the place they have left and the place where they have arrived.
