A short introduction to the exhibition with ICF’s Joanna Risvik.
Thursday 9 January 2025, 6:30-7:15pm
The Photographers’ Gallery London
Find out more about this exhibition focusing on two editions of the influential photography journal Ten.8, Black Image (1984) and Body Politics (1987), both produced in collaboration with The Photographers’ Gallery. Alongside material from the Gallery’s archive, Ten.8 in Focus illustrates how the journal explored the importance of photography and how images are inscribed with meaning.
Ten.8 in Focus: The legacy of Black Image and Body Politics is a snapshot of the dynamic and diverse ways Ten.8 explored ideas around power, representation, race and photography, which are all still relevant today. By the time of the last edition, Critical Decade, in 1992, Ten.8 had become an internationally acclaimed journal and an influential meeting point for socially concerned creatives and Black Diasporic artists and writers.
The tour is led by ICF’s Assistant Project Manager Joanna Risvik.
