Foam 3h: Les Adu - I Am

This week, we take over our Instagram feed with Les Adu’s personal project I Am in commemoration of George Floyd's death. Moved by the ongoing events surrounding Black Lives Matter, photographer Les Adu took over one hundred powerful portraits of his family, friends and acquaintances to voice their strength, resilience and pride.⁠
