About Ten.8 in Focus: The legacy of Black Image and Body Politics
This exhibition celebrates the renowned photography journal Ten.8 and its wider influence. It brings into focus two editions of Ten.8, Black Image (1984) and Body Politics (1987), by activating this rich history through text, design and archival material. Using these two issues as a departure point, this exhibition aims to open up a wider conversation about the legacy of Ten.8 and its exploration of the photographic medium.
Ten.8 In Focus: The legacy of Black Image and Body Politics offers a snapshot of the dynamic and multifaceted ways in which Ten.8 explored ideas around power, representation, race and photography. This examination of the journals demonstrates how pivotal and ahead of its time Ten.8 was during the 1980s and considers the ongoing relevance of these texts and images.
The exhibition is a collaboration between The Photographers’ Gallery and ICF and is curated by Ten.8 editors Derek Bishton and Darryl Georgiou. Exhibition design is by Darryl Daley.
The exhibition runs from 9 October 2024 to 23 February 2025.
