Ernest Cole: House of Bondage
On now until 22 September
This substantial exhibition currently showing revisits South-African photographer Ernest Cole’s (1940-1990) ground-breaking project House of Bondage. In 1966 Cole fled South Africa and smuggled out his photographs, settling in New York. House of Bondage was published in 1967 and revealed the brutality and injustice of apartheid to the world. It became one of the most significant photobooks of the twentieth century.
Exhibition realised in collaboration with Magnum Photos. Curated by Anne-Marie Beckmann and Andrea Holzherr.
