Accompanying our 2020 exhibition, Another Eye: Women Refugee Photographers in Britain after 1933, these presentations covered the photographers’ work across portraiture, reportage, social documentary and architectural photography, and how the European cultural approaches that they brought with them informed British visual culture. In particular, it was considered how their experiences both as outsiders and as women shaped their practice.
