Ikon Jaskirt Dhaliwal-Boora A Place Called Home

A Place Called Home is a new book by socially engaged artist Jaskirt Dhaliwal-Boora which brings together the stories of four young women and their families, and the effects of inter-generational trauma.

Commissioned by West Midlands Police in 2023, Jaskirt had the opportunity to work and collaborate with Kiera, Tiegan, Sienna and Codie to make a body of work to try and effect real change and impact within the police.

The book includes new photographs by Jaskirt, combined with archival images and text from the girls and their families, as well as new images the four girls shot on point and shoot 35mm cameras during the workshops in the project. 

The book also includes the portrait of Tiegan and Alfie, winner of Lens Culture Photo Art Award 2024 and British Journal of Photography's Portrait of Britain Award 2023.
