Cooper & Gorfer: Between These Folded Walls, Utopia

What do you hold close? Where is your secret place of belonging? If you had to leave everything behind and begin again, who would you be?

In a series of richly-imagined portraits, the artist duo Sarah Cooper and Nina Gorfer explore the idea of Utopia in the age of a new diaspora, where young women whose lives have been influenced by forced migration, are photographed like goddesses inside lustrous sets. This book lets us delve into a colourful utopian theater, celebrating female power, and inviting us to partake in the emotional dance of hardship, hope and transformation.
