TILL THE BITTER END is a concept-led, visuals-only photographic zine printed on risograph in Cairo, Egypt. Designed by Egyptian-German artist Malak Kabbani, each "editions only" issue acts as a visual portfolio dedicated entirely to a single photographer without any accompanying text.
Launched during Photo London 2026, TTBE Issue Three brings together photographs and ephemera gathered over twenty years, made with people who trusted James Clifford Kent with their stories. At a moment when Cuba is being squeezed again, the work serves less as a historical record of a turbulent period on the Caribbean’s largest island and more as a record of what survival looks like when hope is repeatedly interrupted.
