How We Are: Photographing Britain

How We Are was an exhibition from 2007 at the Tate Britain, curated by Val Williams and Susan Bright. It looked at the journey of British photography from back in the day to contemporary work. The photographs were taken all over the country and by all sorts of people and I wish it was still going on as it relates really well to my project.

I particularly like this image by Horace Ove a Trinidadian photographer and filmmaker called 'Walking Proud' and is another racially motivated image that is very powerful.



I need to get my hands on the exhibition catalogue so that I can get a better idea of what other photographers interpretations of Britain are like. Oh and the photograph on the front cover is of a very cool dude, amazing photograph.
