Grenfell Tower tragedy: 'An image is a thousand words; it shows you who these people are'
Photographer Feruza Afewerki lost her sister and niece to the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire and has spent the past two years creating a memoir named ‘Gold and Ashes’. It shares the lives of those who died, the survivors and the local community.
With the fifth-year anniversary approaching, Feruza told 5 Live’s Nihal Arthanayake that “it’s important that the wider public know about these people, […] it’s important to see it and not to look away”.
She explained she “can’t get over the anger or frustration, but [she] can channel the anger into something- to help heal the community”.
[This book] "is probably the only good thing to come out of this”.
