Sights & Sounds: Jeano Edwards

Common Discourse is a project designed to help others (and ourselves) think through creativity, focus, and intentional work—from Alex Tan & Alice Otieno.

Every Tuesday we share words from a journal, a few ideas, a quote from somebody else, and links worth sharing. On Fridays we invite a guest to share images from their camera roll and a sound that resonates with them.

You’ll notice these emails dropping in sporadically as we’ve been scrambling and traveling in work and life. Hoping we get back on our regular schedule this week. Happy Monday!

Jeano Edwards is a Jamaican born filmmaker and photographer, currently based between Brooklyn and London. His work meditates on the idea of “home”, with a particular focus on his own relationship with his Jamaican heritage.

I bumped into Jeano in 2019 while living in London, and later reconnected in 2020 for a feature on the MW Journal.

Consistent throughout his work, is a sense of curiosity and wonder, which is equally conveyed in the images he shared with us this week.
