Prejudice and us documents the lives of young people in one of the most deprived and poor neighbourhoods in west London, North Kensington and White City. The project focuses on the effects of prejudice and racism in young people’s lives. Even at a young age, prejudice enters their lives in a number of ways; they are judged by what they wear, their skin colour, demeanour and socio-economic standing. Whilst the project provides an insight of young peoples daily lives, it also highlights how certain events such as profiling, and in particular racial profiling and police stop and search have become normal occurrences. The project aims to shine a light on the lives of young people, and the need to strengthen communication and understanding of their lives.
