In this episode of arts24, we satisfy Ghanaian-Dutch aesthetic musician Joel Quayson, who won the 2025 Dior Prize for Photography and Visual Arts for Young Talents, among the most very closely watched awards in contemporary photography. Born to Ghanaian parents and elevated in the Netherlands within a devout Christian household, Quayson’s job is shaped by the stress between confidence, social heritage and queer self-expression. That deeply personal conflict lies at the heart of his prize-winning video clip “How do you feel?”, now shown at Paris’s Maison Européenne de la Photographie (MEP).
