2016-05-16‘I see this as preventative photography. The photographs here are both a celebration and a warning.’
Edward Barber
Taken originally to gain publicity for the movement, Barber’s collected body of work, Peace Signs today represents an important social document of these major protests against the presence of American nuclear cruise missiles in Britain between 1980 and 1984.
Barber’s images will appear alongside a newly commissioned graphic installation entitled Mind Map of Anti-Nuclear Protest to create a social record of both individual and collective responses to war. Barber illuminates the activists’ humour and creativity by capturing the signs, make-up and costumes, illustrating the often overlooked role of performance theatre, folk art and fashion at peace camps and demonstrations.

TweetDOROTHY BOHM – SIXTIES LONDON
2016-05-16Step back in time and discover the diversity of life in London in the 1960s with photographs focusing on its inhabitants from all walks of life, from schoolchildren to fashion-conscious young adults to market traders.
Born in East Prussia in 1924, Dorothy Bohm moved to Lithuania in 1932 with her family to escape the threat of Nazism. Bohm was sent by her parents to safety in Britain in 1939, armed with a Leica camera handed to her by her father at the very last moment. London has been her home since the 1950s.
Dorothy Bohm has worked as a photographer all around the world, capturing ordinary lives from Europe to the Americas to the Far East. She was closely involved with the founding of the Photographers’ Gallery in London in 1971 and was its Associate Director for fifteen years. She was elected an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society in 2009.

YOSUKE TAKEDA – ARISE
2016-05-16Centering on the theme of “photography” as the basis of his practice, Yosuke Takeda has continued to exhibit and present works that examine its trajectory from multiple perspectives. Takeda explores the fundamental materials comprising the photograph such as the camera and photographic paper as well as the light as a medium that serves to connect them, at times further engaging in an investigation of various means of photographic reproduction from data to photobooks that in turn influence the very conditions of photography. For Takeda, the photograph is a “complex entity that is brought into existence through the combining of and a mutual intervention between the image and the support medium;” a notion essentially cultivated through his physical memories of working in the darkroom.
