A free teaching resource of diverse photography produced in Britain since 1945, fostering a deeper understanding of the complex intersections of race, culture and individual identity
Help your students build a deeper understanding of the complex intersections of race, culture and individual identity. Autograph's acclaimed Archive Learning Resource is built around 40 photographic images featuring portraits of Britain's diverse communities from 1945 - 2006, selected from our collection of photography. They document shifting notions of identity and Britain's transformation into a multicultural society, while addressing topics of migration, memory, representation, politics, family, history and heritage.
The photographs are accompanied by clear, accessible information about each image – plus posters, a timeline and teachers' guides with learning prompts and activities. Students will build visual literacy and consider how photography can help to understand ourselves and others, through the work of artists including Faisal Abdu’Allah, James Barnor, Dawoud Bey, Colin Jones, Lola Flash, Joy Gregory, Rotimi Fani-Kayode, Ajamu, Roshini Kempadoo, Dave Lewis, Dennis Morris, Ingrid Pollard, Eileen Perrier, Franklyn Rodgers and Yinka Shonibare.
