A generation between Peace Agreement and Brexit-daily life of teenagers in Belfast Northern
Ireland will have to leave the European Union due to UK's Brexit although a majority of its
citizens voted to remain. After more than 30 years of conflict during the so called Troubles a
fundamental condition of the 1998 Peace Agreement was the open border between Northern Ireland
and the Republic of Ireland. This frontier will become an external border of the European Union
after Brexit again. There is a serious concern that such a hard border is very likely to
threaten the Peace Process in the country. Toby Binder's photo series accompanies teenagers in
six different Protestant and Catholic neighborhoods providing an intimate and immediate
insight into the daily lives of a whole generation. It depicts the ubiquity of unemployment
drug crime and violence afflicting Belfast's youth whether they live on one side of the Peace
Wall or the other.
