Join us for a tour of a Eileen Perrier's new exhibition contemplating class, cultural identity and belonging through the photographic portrait
Autograph
Rivington Place
London EC2A 3BA, UK
Eileen Perrier: A Thousand Small Stories is the first retrospective of the artist's work, bringing together three decades of photographs. Join us at the gallery for an exhibition tour with Eileen Perrier.
Since the 1990s, Perrier has used photographic portraiture to forge connections between people, acknowledging the profound value of being seen. Often using makeshift studios, she brings her sitters together around shared experiences of kinship, interests or place. Her work has evolved into a form of social engagement that powerfully visualises individuality – encouraging us to look beyond social and cultural divides.
The ticket price for this event is £5. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. If this ticket price is unaffordable for you, please get in touch with Harriet at harriet@autograph-abp.co.uk about free ticketing options.
