About this episode
In this episode of arts24, we meet Ghanaian-Dutch visual artist Joel Quayson, who won the 2025 Dior Prize for Photography and Visual Arts for Young Talents, one of the most closely watched awards in contemporary photography. Born to Ghanaian parents and raised in the Netherlands within a devout Christian household, Quayson's work is shaped by the tension between faith, cultural heritage and queer self-expression. That deeply personal conflict lies at the heart of his prize-winning video "How do you feel?", now on view at Paris's Maison Européenne de la Photographie (MEP).
