Overview

Our understanding of the potential of photography owes much to the groundbreaking photography of the 1980s. The 80s: Photographing Britain explores a critical decade for photography in the UK, highlighting the work of artists who were radically reconsidering the possibilities of the medium and its role in society, and tracing developments in photographic art in Britain from 1976 to 1993. This publication, part of the Tate Dialogues series, includes a curated selection of artworks, and a range of stories from photographers, their subjects, and the writers and artists they have inspired.
