Spanning a time frame from 1945 all the way through ‘till the early 1990s, this photo exhibition has more than 200 original press prints drawn from the prestigious Black Star collection of photojournalism snaps documenting almost fifty years of mankind’s struggle to achieve human rights.
From the civil rights movement in the US south to riots on the streets of London, Human Rights, Human Wrongs considers the political changes, wars and social struggles against racism, prejudice and colonisation that have shaped society and life around the world in the tumultuous years since the Second World War. Troubling and illuminating.
It is accompanied by a fine series of tie-in talks and seminars too, to learn and discuss in greater details.
