Photo: tate.org.ukTate Britain will be exploring a decade of social and political upheaval in this powerful exhibition of 80's photography.
Tracing developments in photographic art from 1976 to 1993, and set against a backdrop of race riots, miner strikes, the AIDS pandemic and high unemployment, the exhibition will showcase the work of professional photographers, collectives and publications to document their response to the turbulent Thatcher years.

The 1980s saw a rapid transformation in British photography as artists reconsidered its possibilities and its role in society. Images were created to give a voice to underrepresented groups, becoming a potent tool for political activism and social change as they reached out to national and international audiences.
The exhibition will highlight some of these often-overlooked stories - many of which featured in important photography journals such as Ten 8 and Cameraworks - and include everything from landscapes and self-portraits to social scenes and conceptual art.
