London exhibitions

A friend sent me a link a while back about the opening of a new exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum, I rarely go to this gallery space, but this contemporary South African photography exhibition looked as if it could definitely fuel my practice further. I found the exhibition very interesting visually and also how prominently political the imagery was. This is something that I’m afraid of within my own practice, but here it seemed verymuch the point to be expressing these political messages, it seemed very much about the honesty of a photograph and exploring this honesty through every individuals eye. The imagery because of this honesty was shocking as well as moving for the viewer, you were seeing people who are really passionate about what they believe in and it felt like it was shot through the camera lens of someone who shared a similar passion.
