About this episode

Misan Harriman discusses his photography, activism, and experiences related to Palestine.

"I am now getting death threats from registered Telegraph readers." Misan Harriman is a widely celebrated photographer and activist. He’s also the first Black male photographer to shoot the cover of British Vogue, and the director of an Oscar-nominated short film. His work has spanned at least three continents, documenting protest movements from the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020 to the pro-Palestine marches in London. In this conversation on Real Talk, Mohamed Hashem joins Harriman at Hope 93, a gallery in London, to discuss his work, his activism, and what happened when he turned his lens to Palestine. Harriman also opens up about the right-wing outlets that have been accused of a coordinated smear campaign against him, and where it left him.
