Everything Was Moving: Photography from the 60s and 70s

This major photography exhibition surveys the medium from an international perspective looking at two of the most memorable decades of the 20th century. 1960s and 1970s saw events from the Cultural Revolution to the Cold War; from America’s colonialist misadventure in Vietnam to the indelible values of the civil rights movement. This time coincided with a golden age in photography: the moment when the medium flowered as a modern art form. The exhibition presents some of the most inspiring voices in 20th century photography and brings together over 400 works, featuring 12 key figures including Bruce Davidson, William Eggleston, David Goldblatt, Graciela Iturbide, Boris Mikhailov, Sigmar Polke, Malick Sidibé, Shomei Tomatsu, and Li Zhensheng as well as important innovators whose lives were cut tragically short such as Ernest Cole, Raghubir Singh and Larry Burrows.
