Donya Yousefi
Donya Yousefi is an Iranian photographer based in the UK whose work explores themes of migration, dual identity, and life between cultures. Focusing on the everyday experiences of a migrant family, she captures the intersection of Iranian and British traditions.
Her images blend poetic and documentary approaches to reflect on ideas of home, belonging, and identity in a contemporary context. For her, identity is not fixed — it is constantly evolving and shaped by both past and present.
This photographic series offers a glimpse into the everyday life of a migrant family navigating two cultures — Iranian and English — within one home. Through intimate moments, shared meals, and layered rituals, the work explores how identity is shaped when traditions blend, and languages intertwine.
Set against the backdrop of ordinary family life, these images reflect on belonging, memory, and the meaning of home in a world where cultures overlap and evolve. It is a quiet, visual meditation on the beauty and complexity of growing up between worlds.
