Both sides of Brexit: Leavers and Remainers in sharp focus

Angela Christofilou looks on from the sidelines at the Brexit debate still gripping the country

Over the past few years I have been documenting protests, mainly in London, building an archive of images and exploring ways in which protest photography can be used to bring about social change, open up difficult conversations and what it’s role may be in the political and social debates of our time, such as Brexit.

The deadline is less than a week away and there is no doubt that the road ahead is still murky. Since June 2016, pro- and anti-EU supporters have taken to the streets to voice their opinions on the government’s Brexit plans. In 2018, I photographed supporters of both the remain and leave campaigns while attending the March for the Future and Brexit Betrayal rally in London. This selection of images is in black and white, with a focus on the individuals attending the protest rather than the crowds, the wording on the banners and the emotions of the protestors.
