Afro Modern: Journeys through the Black Atlantic - Tate Liverpool
I recently went to the Tate Liverpool to visit the Afro Modern exhibition, which explores 'impact of different black cultures from around the Atlantic on art from the early twentieth-century to today.' It follows on from themes raised in my dissertation especially because the exhibition was inspired by the work of Paul Gilroy, who featured heavily in my dissertation.
I was really interested in the photography they had at the exhibition, I especially wanted to see the work of Pirkle Jones, Charles Moore and Gordon Parks. They all produced photography throughout the civil uprising and Black power movement in America during the 1960s/70s.
