The Purpose of Light – Misan Harriman is a photography exhibition focusing on the times when silence becomes impossible and the need to speak out and protest take precedent. Our humanity is revealed when we stand with people we don’t have to, when their pain is not our pain, but we carry it anyway. This power of protest: it builds bridges between strangers, between nations, between struggles that may look different but are fundamentally rooted in the same fight for dignity.
Misan Harriman is a Nigerian‑British photographer, filmmaker, entrepreneur, cultural commentator, and activist. Born into a prominent Nigerian family—his father, Chief Hope Harriman, was a noted politician and businessman—he was educated in England at Stubbington House School and Bradfield College before working in recruitment and finance in the City of London.
