Taken from the latest issue of BJP, Koenning’s chat with educator, curator and photographer Daniel Boetker-Smith spans connection, education, and trauma. The pair also discuss Koenning’s varied and interconnected practice which, in newly-commissioned images by Meg De Young, we’re fortunate to catch a glimpse of. Next, an important reminder: there’s just one month left to enter BJP’s Portrait of Britain Vol. 6 award!
