Photographer Jack Eames has spent years documenting Haircuts4Homeless, using his fashion and beauty background to create portraits that humanise people experiencing homelessness. His exhibition, SEEN, in partnership with Capture One, brings that work into a physical space — challenging how we see vulnerability, identity, and our shared humanity.

A Dream That You Would Never Wake Up From explores migration as a perpetual crossing between lands, memories and identities. Through collaged photographs, the artist reflects on displacement, ancestral histories and emotional borders. Nostalgia becomes visceral, belonging remains fragile, and the past persists as a dreamlike terrain where personal and collective histories quietly intertwine.

Glossy and shimmery beauty looks return with a dash of imperfection. Is it a nostalgic reminder of times when print media, your inner circle, or cultural knowledge dominated? Perhaps it’s a doppelgänger to clean, perfectly applied neutral beauty dictated by online tutorials from beauty influencers or industry experts.

Photographer Tanya Traboulsi explores Beirut as a landscape shaped by memory, exile, and imagination. Blending photographs with archival traces, the work navigates the tension between past and present, reality and fiction. The series is a lived place and dreamscape: fragile, unresolved, and continuously reimagined through the echoes of personal and collective history.

Photographer Charly García discovered an unexpected cowboy community in Flanders, Belgium – far from the landscapes usually associated with this culture. He spent nine months alongside them, documenting daily routines, work, and moments of quiet between events. Rather than focusing on rodeo spectacle, his photographs centre on the people themselves, revealing the relationships, gestures, and everyday lives that sustain the community.

Photographer Federico Possati examines Italy’s Pianura Padana as a landscape reshaped by industry, consumption, and erasure. Through two years of photographic wandering, abandoned artefacts emerge as displaced relics of a hybrid territory. Presented beyond museum order, the images form a speculative archive where fragments collide, meanings shift, and history rearranges itself.

In mother-land, artist Chia Yun Wu reflects on Taiwan’s political isolation through the intimate lens of migration and family separation. Layering personal photographs with evocative landscapes, Wu creates a parallel world shaped by memory, distance, and uncertainty. Through printmaking and drawing, the project maps a fragile space between belonging and alienation, where fluid borders and shifting identities reveal both quiet tension and enduring hope.

Photographer Hui Zhang presents a very personal body of work rooted in her experiences of growing up as a ‘left-behind child’ in suburban Beijing. Shaped by family separation and social inequality, her images revisit the people and places of her upbringing, revealing a quiet sense of longing, memory and calls into question: How do we define ‘home’? 

Photographer Lenny Steinhauer explores the fragile afterlife of a modernist social utopia that still functions today. The Ihme-Zentrum in Hanover is a brutalist structure caught between decay and persistence, revealing how a seemingly hopeless architectural vision is sustained by the people who continue to inhabit and give meaning to it.

The Internal Crusade is a photographic project by Zexuan Zeng that explores the lasting influence of China’s “Long March” on everyday life and personal identity. Through a two-month journey along the historic route, Zeng documents how political narratives transform individual experiences into collective ideals, using images of people, places, and symbolic landscapes to question how history is constructed and internalised.

Dreaming Cleaning is a poignant documentary series by photographer Almudena Zambrana that moves between softness and strain, reverie and repetition. Drawing from her lived experience as a qualified migrant working as a cleaner in Australia, Zambrana reveals the emotional and psychological weight of repetitive, often unacknowledged labour. Through cyclical, dream-like imagery, the project exposes the fragile gap between education, identity and survival.

Antidote is a framework of five photographic series and an academic essay exploring the rise of contemporary authoritarianism. Drawing on Indigenous worldviews, Marco Vernaschi proposes empathy as a counterforce to polarised ideologies. We speak with Vernaschi about power, psychology, and resistance.

Looking ahead to beauty trends of 2026, the Spring/Summer runways set the tone with bold, expressive looks and futuristic flair. From 80s-inspired blush contour at Aadnevik to sci-fi metallics at Theophilio, designers embraced impact. Vivid blue carnival eyes as seen at Luar, next-level lashes at Thom Brown and graphic statement lips at Roksanda & Westwood signal a fearless new beauty era.

Jamnesia is a meditation on obsession, endurance, and queer presence inside chaos. Colliding roller derby’s radical, bruised community with the unforgiving ritual of wet plate collodion, the project celebrates failure, devotion, and bodies that persist. It is about showing up – again and again – for art, impact, and belonging.

Photographer Alex Bex interrogates the cowboy myth and the codes of traditional masculinity. Immersed in ranching communities, the project reveals vulnerability behind the archetype, questioning how images shape manhood in a society undergoing profound cultural change today, urgently, and without nostalgia.
