Bringing together the work of Jane Evelyn Atwood, Weronika Gęsicka, Amak Mahmoodian and Rene Matić, the exhibition offers an overview of some of the most signifiant and compelling photographic practices today. 

From explorations of memory and identity to questions of power and representation, this tour provides an opportunity to gain more insight into the ideas and processes underpinning the works on display. The tour will also consider the broader context of the prize, offering a behind-the-scenes look into the curatorial approach to presenting such a diverse range of practices within a single exhibition.

Tour led by curator Julia Bunnemann (The Photographers' Gallery) and is suitable for all audiences. No booking necessary, free with exhibition entry.
