00:00Salve e benvenuti alla Sarchi Gallery a Londra, dove quest'estate tre esibizioni fotografiche

00:10si presentano, esplorando la fortezza e la bellezza complessa della vita nera,

00:17la fragilità del mondo naturale e il potere del spirito comunitario.

00:22As we rise, photography from the Black Atlantic examines African diasporic culture

00:35through concepts of community, identity and power.

00:39We are seeing a lot of expressions of joy, of celebration,

00:44and I think that these images are very much in conversation with what's happening in the world

00:50where we see lots of speaking out and activism against anti-Black violence.

00:55And so while those images that we see are important,

00:59this show also offers us another entry point and a broader picture.

01:05Photographer Jorian Charlton turns the focus on Jamaican-Canadian culture,

01:11drawing on her own experiences and that of her community in Toronto.

01:16I do like images where it's a bit obscured or maybe you can't see the person's face,

01:20but you can still get a strong sense of community or togetherness.

01:29Adaptation invites us to question and reflect on our surroundings in a changing world.

01:35Some of the works from contemporary American photographer Anastasia Samuilova

01:40are the spotlight on climate change.

01:44The image behind me was taken a day after a major hurricane.

01:48It's this juxtaposition between these kind of marshmallow colors of Miami Beach.

01:52It's a very carefully crafted, idealized image of itself

01:56and the reality that's very fragile and vulnerable to climatic change.

02:03The March of the Hummingbirds exhibition brings the rich histories of the Caribbean and Mauritius to life.

02:09Photographer Anissa Dawaji from South London puts community spirit front and center.

02:16My mother was from Trinidad and my father is from Mauritius.

02:19I'm blessed to live in a place where it's very diverse.

02:22The countries that my parents are from are incredibly diverse.

02:26The crossovers are actually quite beautiful.

02:28People say that multiculturalism doesn't work.

02:31I think this body of work is to sort of challenge that.

02:36We have a wide scope here that is being displayed through many different styles of photography

02:41and many different techniques and I think that's really important to see in our contemporary world.

02:46All three exhibitions run at London's Saatchi Gallery into January

02:51with one ticket giving access to all.
