Transmission Through the Lens – Jean Jules Wachter

This photograph captures a tender moment between a father and daughter during a BLM protest. For Jean Jules Wachter, this image marked a turning point—a realisation that representation is not just about being seen, but being seen right. Frustrated by the absence of positive, everyday Black imagery, Jean founded Mid Street Lab as a space for visibility, dialogue, and cultural healing. Through art, he works to decode systems and reprogram vision. Transmission is the tool. Legacy is the mission.
