Morgan is based at Rainham Hall, a National Trust property in Havering, East London, and will be working on learning programming and community engagement projects, including arts workshops focused around wellbeing through the process of making. Morgan is an artist-maker interested in accessibility and representation. Having graduated in Costume Production in 2018, they now specialise in sensory costume and props for people with additional needs. Morgan is passionate about sustainable, slow-made crafts, and makes bespoke sketchbooks, journals and art books, such as their book on transgender representation in film which was exhibited at the Society of Bookbinders International Conference 2019. This year, they also created a podcast with co-host Samiir, which by honestly discussing their diverse projects and offering advice as early-career artists, is building a community of arts students and recent graduates. Since starting with New Museum School, Morgan has constantly been inspired by the cohort and is excited for the diversity of new ideas that everyone will bring, especially in highlighting underrepresented histories and engaging new audiences.

Bayryam is based at the Magnum Photos office and will be working on digital media and archive projects. After graduating in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography at London College of Communication, Bayryam has continued his own photography practice, as well as working with Tate Collective Young Producers and volunteering for ‘BP or not BP?’. He is also facilitating various training and workshops in collaboration with Sofia Platform in Bulgaria that explores the collapse of communism and its consequences. Since starting the New Museum School he’s been inspired by the great scope of topics that Magnum photographers explored during the years and how Magnum can re-image and reinterpret its archive while bringing more voices from misrepresented backgrounds in the process of doing so.
