Serena Brown The National Portrait Gallery

Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah shot at her home in Lewisham by Serena Brown as part of her commission for The National Portrait Gallery’s Taylor Wessing commission prize. The photographs are on display at The National Portrait Gallery and will be part of the gallery’s permanent collection.

The work is centred on the story of clean air activist Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, whose 9 year old daughter, Ella, was the first in the world to have air pollution listed as their cause of death after living next to the South Circular in Lewisham.  https://www.ellaroberta.org/
