We Carry It With Us

A photograph of a black woman wearing a knitted blue top, looking up at the camera directly into the lens. She is smiling and her silver hoop earring catches the light. The photo is taken from above, so we can see the woman is standing on a school playground game of snakes and ladders, painted directly onto the ground.

We Carry It With Us is a collection of works by photographer Jeremy Abrahams, featuring individuals who experienced bullying during their childhoods. Their portraits incorporate handwritten texts, allowing them to explain the impact in their own words.

The people photographed explain how their experiences of bullying have shaped them. In some cases, it has inspired them to fight for equality and empower others to embrace their heritage. For others, it is about accepting themselves, embracing the parts of them that others mocked or tried to make them ashamed of, and finding strength in their own voices.

This display includes references to discrimination, including racism, homophobia, and antisemitism.
