Introducing “We’re Just Trying to Learn How to Love,” a limited-run debut publication by Leeds-based visual artist Hamza Ashraf.
The publication is a culmination of two years of heartfelt exploration and personal archive curation, capturing the lessons learned and growth experienced in the pursuit of love. Each page, each breath, each step taken has been a labor of love; a moment where readers are invited to join Hamza on a journey of self-discovery and vulnerability.
Through a fusion of images from Hamza’s archive or re-enactments, poignant poetry, and scanned archival material, they open up their heart, inviting readers to delve into the depths of their emotions and the essence of their creativity. This publication transcends mere words and images; it’s a testament to the transformative power of love and the enduring resilience of the human spirit.
Welcome to a world where emotions flow freely, and every page tells a story of growth, healing, and the beautiful messiness of being human.
