Ever Young: Exhibition of Photographs by James Barnor
This seminal retrospective exhibition features a range of archival photographs: street and studio portraits from Ghana and the UK, fashion shoots in glorious colour, and social documentary images from the late 1940s to the 1970s.
Du Bois, Thomas J Calloway and The Paris Albums 1900
Archival photographs from the US Library of Congress Washington DC go on display. In Paris at the turn of the nineteenth century, Thomas J Calloway and W.E.B. Du Bois, a civil rights activist and leading black intellectual, strategically employed 500 photographs to make the case for African American Humanity at the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle.

Window Commission
Rivington Place’s 2010 window commission, produced by Iniva, is by artist Nilbar Gures. Using a variety of media including photography, collage, drawing, and textiles, Gures produces theatrical tableaux of women, moving between performance and the everyday. Her images combine humour with compositions seen in paintings, as well as costumes and props, subverting representational notions of femininity and cultural identity. Gures recently created a great deal of interest in her work at the 6th Berlin Biennial.
