Pearly Kings & Queens
United Kingdom
The Pearly Kings and Queens began in nineteenth-century London, when street traders decorated their clothes with mother-of-pearl buttons to show pride, community, and charity.
For their 150th anniversary, I collaborated with the Pearlies to document the current members within their homes and community spaces.
