Hales is excited to announce that Sunil Gupta is currently participating in The 80s: Photographing Britain at Tate Britain, London, UK, through 5 May 2025.
The 80s: Photographing Britain traces the work of a diverse community of photographers, collectives and publications - creating radical responses to the turbulent Thatcher years, with a backdrop of race uprisings, the miner strikes, section 28, the AIDS pandemic and gentrification.
At this time, photography was used as a tool for social change, political activism, and artistic and photographic experiments. See powerful images that gave voice and visibility to underrepresented groups in society. This includes work depicting the Black arts movement, queer experience, South Asian diaspora and the representation of women in photography.
This exhibition examines how photography collectives and publications highlighted these often-unseen stories, featured in innovative photography journals such as Ten 8 and Cameraworks. It will also look at the development of Autograph ABP, Half Moon Photography Workshop, and Hackney Flashers.
