LOG 1 - Feb II [Mexico, Madrid, Malaga | Meetings, Coursework]

Welcome to LOG. I’m Talissa, a London-based Swedish/Lebanese documentary photographer and filmmaker. I’m doing my second Master’s in Global Political Economics at King’s College London, a decade after my first (ideally rolling into a PhD, though I have spied a 3rd MA). On the 25th of May 2025, I launched ThePilgrimPrj, a social enterprise collecting data to identify economic patterns and geopolitical effects on pilgrimages while producing documentaries and providing resources for pilgrims. This is the first instalment of my fortnightly log of desperate, at times, high-functioning, at others, utterly chaotic attempt to manage it all. Thrilled to have you here and always keen to know your thoughts.
