“...a map of dismantled humanity is laid out..not easy to view, but it is important to persevere…image after image will make you wince and think.” **** The Telegraph

“….should you go and see it? Yes. Yes you should.” Time Out

Human Rights Human Wrongs features more than 200 original press prints, drawn from the prestigious Black Star collection of twentieth century photoreportage. The exhibition explores what role such images play in helping us understand the case for human rights, and further addresses the legacy of how photographs have historically functioned in raising awareness of international conflict.

The exhibition spans a time frame from 1945 until the early 90s and examines the major political upheavals, conflict, war and struggles against racism and colonisation that became especially urgent following World War II. It seeks to present these events in a global context rather than as isolated incidents, moving away from didactic perspectives on history.

In collaboration with The Ryerson Image Centre and Autograph ABP. Exhibition curated by Mark Sealy MBE, Autograph ABP with curatorial assistance from Valérie Matteau, Ryerson Image Centre.

This exhibition has been made possible with generous support from TD Bank Group. With additional support from the Bertha Foundation, Cockayne – Grants for the Arts, a donor advised fund of The London Community Foundation, Stanley Thomas Johnson Foundation, The Mead Family Foundation and the US Embassy London.
