For her long awaited second monograph, Liz Johnson Artur follows the legendary London club scene PDA and the community that created it.
Since its founding by Mischa Mafia, Carrie Stacks and Akinola Davies Jr, PDA has been an important center for the experimental queer nightlife of the BIPOC community in London. The community-led initiative was always committed to the safety and care of its people and scenes. As a result, it not only became a home for many, but also an important part and influence of British cultural history.
Liz Johnson Artur (born 1964 in Bulgaria, lives and works in London) is an artist and photographer of Russian-Ghanaian origin, known for her work documenting the African diaspora worldwide. In 2021, she was awarded the Women In Motion prize for photography at the Rencontres de la photographie d'Arles, in recognition of her entire career.
