Ekow Eshun on The Magnum Home

The Magnum Home's photographic curator on the primacy, intensity and wonder of being young.

This isn't a chronological display. It's not a history of youth culture. Hopefully, it's a series of sense impressions.

Ekow Eshun

"I think as a young person, as a teenager especially, you always feel this sense of being alienated. You always feel the sense of being outside, you always feel the sense that no one understands you - but what photography captures is both that sense of separateness and the deep desire for connections that people have, that young people have, with each other, in the moment."
