Visit two exhibitions that encapsulate the importance of powerful portraiture photography
Autograph is a place to see things differently. We warmly welcome schools, FE/HE, community and youth groups, SEND, and tours to book a free, self-led group visit to Autograph's gallery in Shoreditch, London. You can see two new photography exhibitions: Armet Francis' photographs chronicling the lives of people of the African diaspora for more than 40 years, and Hélène Amouzou's evocative work contemplating the complex emotions of displacement and exile.
We recommend these exhibitions for students KS2 and up, including HE students of all levels (BA, MA, PhD) and from a wide range of courses such as photography, film, fine art, fashion, visual cultures and the social sciences.
Ready to book your group visit to Autograph's gallery? Fill in our short form where where you can request a time and date for your visit, and a member of Autograph's team will get back to you shortly. You can also request to use our dedicated education studio during your visit.

Armet Francis' images are life-affirming moments that celebrate the resilience and survival of African diasporic cultures.
22 Sep 2023 - 20 Jan 2024
Hélène Amouzou's hand printed photographs are a crucial document of a migrant who has grappled with notions of freedom, exclusion, and bureaucracy – and a refusal of erasure.
Before your visit, we'd like you to know that Hélène Amouzou: Voyages contains some nudity. If you have any questions, get in touch at learning@autograph-abp.co.uk
