Ernest Cole: House of Bondage
14 June - 22 September 2024
This substantial exhibition revisits South-African photographer Ernest Cole’s (1940-1990) groundbreaking project House of Bondage. In 1966 Cole fled South Africa and smuggled out his photographs, settling in New York. House of Bondage was published in 1967 and revealed the brutality and injustice of apartheid to the world. It became one of the most significant photobooks of the twentieth century. Along with over 100 photographs the exhibition also features early original prints, personal documents, original editions, ephemera and filmed interviews with Cole. Further Information HERE
Graciela Iturbide: Shadowlines
14 June - 22 September 2024
Graciela Iturbide: Shadowlines celebrates the work and world of Mexican photographer Graciela Iturbide (b. 1942, Mexico City). Widely recognised for the poetry and introspection of her work, Iturbide’s captivating black and white images explore themes of Mexican culture, identity and belonging.
From the Seri people of the Sonaran desert to the Mexican-American cholo gangs of Los Angeles and Tijuana; the cinematic flatlands of American highways to the sculptural cacti of the botanical gardens of Oaxaca, Iturbide captures her subjects with depth and sensitivity. Further Information HERE
Meditations On Love
14 June - 22 September 2024
Meditations On Love welcomes you to consider how love is represented, preserved and remembered through an archive of photobooks, novels and nonfiction works curated by the Develop Collective for The Photographers’ Gallery.
Everyone is invited to explore the reading room of books and reflect on the common thread that runs through stories of resilience, community, friendship, subversion, identity and queerness. The many languages of love are celebrated through a global lens, with photobooks by Tami Aftab, Ollie Adegboye, Deana Lawson, Ewen Spencer, and more. Further Information HERE
