Bayryam was based at the Magnum Photos office and worked 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 has also facilitating various training and workshops in collaboration with ‘Sofia Platform’ in Bulgaria that explored the collapse of communism and its consequences. After starting the New Museum School he was inspired by the great scope of topics that Magnum photographers explored over 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.
