Street Angels

Curated by Guy Smallman & Azim Fakri. Photos by Zahra, Mateen, Ahad, Bahran & Najibullah.

Photojournalist Guy Smallman and Kabul based artist Azim Fakri taught the basics of photography to five Afghan street children. They then issued them with disposable 35mm film cameras. The result is an exhibition giving a stunning insight into life on the margins of society in a wild and war torn country.

Light. People. Dark. Places

When darkness dominates an image the everyday becomes intimate, the familiar haunting. These images taken in available light - often a fire, candle or single light bulb - are from India and Morocco. But can the same lighting conditions be found in the East End of London?

Spitalfields Nippers

Harace Warner

The Gentle Author of Spitalfields Life, the East End Culture blog, introduces Horace Warner's Spitalfields Nippers, showing the photographs and giving the background to this astonishing set of images. Around 1900, photographer Horace Warner took a series of portraits of some of the poorest people in the East End - creating relaxed, intimate images that gave dignity to his subjects and producing great photography that is without parallel in his era. This unique collection of pictures revolutionises our view of Londoners at the end of the nineteenth century, by bringing us startlingly close and permitting us to look them in the eye. Discovered recently and only seen by members of Warner’s family for more than a century, almost all of these breathtaking photographs are now published for the first time by Spitalfields Life Books.

Modern Magic Lantern Show

with Steve Lewis

Working in collaboration with East End culture blog Spitalfields Life, we return to the glory days of Magic Lantern Shows that were such a popular feature of the Institute in its early years. Photographer Steve Lewis shares his favourite images and stories in conversation with Stefan Dickers, Bishopsgate Institute’s Library and Archives Manager. Steve Lewis’ early days as a press photographer were spent in the East End of London; during this time the photographs he took captured the gritty reality of life in east London during the ‘Swinging’ Sixties. These Photographs appear in his first book London’s East End - A 1960s Album published in 2010. The images graphically illustrate widespread poverty, poor housing, industrial unrest and racial tension. Steve’s second book London’s East End - Then & Now was published in 2012 and his latest book An East End Album was published earlier this year and includes his favourite photographs in a hard back publication.

Working in collaboration with East End culture blog Spitalfields Life, we return to the glory days of Magic Lantern Shows that were such a popular feature of the Institute in its early years. Photographer Bob Mazzer shares his favourite images and stories in conversation with Stefan Dickers, Bishopsgate Institute’s Library and Archives Manager.

Bob Mazzer began capturing life on the London Underground in the 1980s while commuting to work and back on the tube. The images he took are a fascinating social documentary revealing the changing fashions and times with humour and humanity.

“Every day I travelled to King’s Cross and back. Coming home late at night, it was like a party and I felt like the tube was mine and I was there to take the pictures.” – Bob Mazzer

Blackall Studios will show work from the book, inviting visitors to write their own postcards and participate in an evolving conversation around the themes of PfB, with screenings, talks, workshops, discussions, performances, DJs, and a pop-up café...

Where possible, I am taking photos from exactly the same locations as in the 1980s in order to make direct comparisons.

'I was watching in the square as the cops lost it early on. Just before this shot I’d been trying to shelter with three cops behind a pole. They were more scared than I was and the pole wasn’t entirely adequate as protection'

'I was part of a young generation of ‘struggle photographers’ committed to documenting the political mobilization of the time... I witnessed violent repression by the State and multiple funerals of young township activists. These images are partisan, framed against the background of the immense suffering of black people under apartheid'

Johnnie Walker on the beach

Francisco Paco Carrascosa

“As a ‘paparazzo of everyday life’, I have distilled my view of the world into a photographic essay in book form, consisting of 2640 pictures. The resulting five volumes are my homage to life, photography and the commonplace.” Francisco Paco Carrascosa

Inspired by the figure of Johnnie Walker from Haruki Murakami’s novel “Kafka on the Shore” – a Pop Art figure and a symbol for “being on the move” – I let my curiosity be my guide and roamed the world like a Baudelairean flâneur of the 21st century, travelling to Spain, Japan, Italy and Switzerland.

Theatre Royal Stratford East Archive

Archivist: Murray Melvin

In 1991, a year after the death of Avis Bunnage, known as The Queen of the Workshop, the theatre was given an old brown cardboard suitcase full of programmes and photographs and other memorabilia that Avis had collected over the years of her work at the theatre. The then Artistic Director Philip Hedley invited Murray Melvin to spend a couple of weeks sorting it all out. Twenty three years later Murray is still collecting and the archive has expanded to a complete collection of material from all productions after the Theatre Workshop period to the present day, and has compiled a comprehensive list of all the dates and titles of productions that have played at the theatre since the very first one in December 1884.

Uncertain States First Tuesday Talks

James Russell Cant

The Decisive and Other Moments.

The project is a series of long exposure photography up to a yearlong recorded by both pinhole and conventional cameras. It is centred around the remains of a Georgian house, its gardens and the estuarine country and marshlands of Northeast Essex. The images trace some of the personal, familial, social, artistic and scientific histories connected to this place. These talks are free however there may be a minimal charge for the location.
