SUMMARY:After the End of History: British Working Class Photography 1989 - 2024
DESCRIPTION:Presenting over 120 works across a 35-year period\, After the End of History: British Working Class Photography 1989 – 2024 brings together contemporary working class artists who use photography to explore the nuances of working class life in all its diversity. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition\, curated by Johny Pitts\, emphasises the perspectives of practitioners who turn their gaze towards both their communities and outwards to the wider world.  \n\n\n\nInstead of looking at working-class people\, the exhibition will explore life through the lenses of working-class practitioners\, who have not only turned their gaze towards their own communities but also out towards the world. \n\n\n\nEddie Otchere\, Junglists\, Roast (The Final Chapter) Stratford Rex Theatre\, Stratford\, 1997\, © Eddie Otchere\n\n\n\nThe year 2024 will mark 35 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall\, and the symbolic end of Communism. The weakening of the Soviet Union in the 1980s prompted economist Francis Fukuyama to announce the triumph of Western Liberal Democracy as the only viable future for global politics. \n\n\n\nThe counter-cultural energies of the 1980s\, very often powered up by the alternative ideologies embodied by Communism\, produced a collective\, coherent\, politically engaged generation of working-class artists. But after the so-called ‘End of History’\, what became of working-class culture? Who identifies as such\, and why? What of the working class creative? What kind of images has working-class life produced in the last 35 years? \n\n\n\nSerena Brown\, Clayponds\, 2018\, © Serena Brown\n\n\n\nAfter the End of History will offer a counterintuitive picture of working-class life today\, from Rene Matić’s portrait of growing up mixed race in a white working-class community in Peterborough\, to Elaine Constaintine’s documentation of the Northern Soul scene\, to Kavi Pujara’s ode to Leicester’s Hindu community\, and JA Mortram’s documentation throughout his life as a caregiver. After the End of History will explore the challenges and beauty of contemporary working-class life\, in all its diversity today. \n\n\n\nArtists in the exhibition include Richard Billingham\, Sam Blackwood\, Serena Brown\, Antony Cairns\, Rob Clayton\, Joanne Coates\, Josh Cole\, Artúr Čonka\, Elaine Constantine\, Natasha Edgington\, Richard Grassick\, Anna Magnowska\, Rene Matić\, J A Mortram\, Kelly O’Brien\, Eddie Otchere\, Kavi Pujara\, Khadija Saye\, Chris Shaw\, Trevor Smith\, Ewen Spencer\, Hannah Starkey\, Igoris Taran\, Nathaniel Télémaque\, Barbara Wasiak\, Tom Wood. \n\n\n\n‘After the End of History: British Working Class Photography 1989 – 2024’ is a Hayward Gallery Touring exhibition curated by Johny Pitts with Hayward Gallery Touring. \n\n\n\nJohny Pitts Interview\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n			\n\n				\n					\n				\n				Installation view\n			\n				\n				Installation view\n			\n				\n				Installation view\n			\n				\n				Installation view\n			\n				\n				Installation view\n			\n				\n				Installation view\n			\n				\n				Installation view\n			\n				\n				Installation view\n			\n				\n				Installation view\n			\n				\n				Installation view\n			\n				\n				Installation view\n			\n				\n				Films by Anthony Cairns\n			\n				\n				Images by Joanna Coates\n			\n				\n				Image by Hannah Starkey\n			\n				\n				Images by Barbara Waslak\n			\n				\n				Images by Khadija Saye\n			\n				\n				Images by Elanie Constantine \n			\n				\n				Images by Eddie Otchere\n			\n				\n				Images by Josh Cole\n			\n				\n				Images by Nathaniel Telemaque\n			\n				\n				Images by Sam Blackwood\n			\n				\n				Bonington Gallery Book shop\, with a selection related to the exhibition\, and previous publications \n			\n				\n				Northern Soul inspired checked dace floor\, with images by Ewan Spencer\, and vitrine with Anna Magnowska's works\n			\n				\n				Works by Anna Magnowska\n			\n				\n				Vitrine with works by Anna Magnowska\n			\n				\n				Work by Anna Magnowska\n			\n				\n\n			\n			\n				\n					\n				\n				Installation view\n			\n				\n				Installation view\n			\n				\n				Installation view\n			\n				\n				Installation view\n			\n				\n				Installation view\n			\n				\n				Installation view\n			\n				\n				Installation view\n			\n				\n				Installation view\n			\n				\n				Installation view\n			\n				\n				Installation view\n			\n				\n				Installation view\n			\n				\n				Films by Anthony Cairns\n			\n				\n				Images by Joanna Coates\n			\n				\n				Image by Hannah Starkey\n			\n				\n				Images by Barbara Waslak\n			\n				\n				Images by Khadija Saye\n			\n				\n				Images by Elanie Constantine \n			\n				\n				Images by Eddie Otchere\n			\n				\n				Images by Josh Cole\n			\n				\n				Images by Nathaniel Telemaque\n			\n				\n				Images by Sam Blackwood\n			\n				\n				Bonington Gallery Book shop\, with a selection related to the exhibition\, and previous publications \n			\n				\n				Northern Soul inspired checked dace floor\, with images by Ewan Spencer\, and vitrine with Anna Magnowska's works\n			\n				\n				Works by Anna Magnowska\n			\n				\n				Vitrine with works by Anna Magnowska\n			\n				\n				Work by Anna Magnowska\n			\n				\n\n				\n					\n				\n				\n					\n				\n			\n		\n\n\nHerbert Art Gallery & Museum\, Coventry: 29 March – 16 June 2024Focal Point Gallery\, Southend-on-Sea: 3 July – 14 September 2024Bonington Gallery\, Nottingham: 26 September – 14 December 2024PressArt ReviewStudio InternationalApertureCreative ReviewTribuneDazedAestheticaHuckFadBritish Journal of PhotographyBBC \n\n\n\n				\n					\n					\n					Accessibility Information \n					\n						There is an audio described introduction to the gallery space and exhibition which can be accessed here \nIn this exhibition\, the works by Kelly O’Brien have been audio described which can be listened to here \nIn the gallery space\, you can listen to these audio descriptions using an iPod and pair of headphones available from the gallery invigilator.
