Encounters
Between August 2017 and May 2018, Eden interviewed 36 people of the LGBTQ+ community for his project Encounters. Through the year, his work focused on finding ways to use drawing and writing to tell their story and make the spectator engage with the issue. For his final show at the Royal College of Art, he is focusing on the last 5 meetings he had, to put these stories in an exhibition environment.
