Bringing together 350 images and archival materials, this fall the Tate Britain in London, England, will present The 80s: Photographing Britain, highlighting the decade as a pivotal moment for the medium of photography.
The exhibition will explore how photographers used the camera to respond to the seismic social, political and economic shifts around them. Through the lenses of these photographers, viewers will be able to understand how the medium became a tool for social representation, cultural celebration and artistic expression throughout this important period for photography.
