ON THE ROAD

In October 2022, Total Arts hosted the work of multi-award-winning photographer, photojournalist, and debut fiction author Dean Yeadon.

Dean, with his family, left their home in Mauritius in 2020 to begin an adventurous journey. They first sailed via St. Brandon and Madagascar to Seychelles. The next leg of their journey was overland in his Land Rover camper van, taking them via Turkey, Ukraine, Russia, Georgia, Armenia, Iran, UAE, and finally Oman. A journey of nearly one hundred thousand kilometres, temperatures from 45 degrees Celsius to minus 60 degrees Celsius, visiting some of the most remote regions of Russia, including the Sakhalin and Kuril Islands.

The exhibition also included graphic artwork from his first English-language fiction novel, Mzungu Diaries, which explores the writer's creative process as he created the manuscript. The book was completed during their journey.
