Join the celebration of the launch of Shining Lights: Black Women Photographers in 1980s-90s Britain, the first critical anthology showcasing the artistic contributions of UK Black women photographers. This groundbreaking book, published in partnership with MACK, highlights the often-underrepresented and unarchived cultural history of these talented individuals.

At the event, editor Joy Gregory, a renowned artist known for her work on self-identity and auto-portraiture, will share her insights alongside Autograph's director Mark Sealy. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from these esteemed individuals, enjoy a drinks reception, and purchase the book.

Joy Gregory's artistic journey has explored themes of blackness, femininity, and beauty through various series and projects. Her work challenges the lack of representation of black women in consumer magazines and delves into questions of aesthetics and body politics. Gregory's work has been exhibited internationally and can be found in prestigious collections around the world.

The event will take place at Autograph in London, a fully accessible venue with step-free access and a wheelchair accessible lift. Autograph welcomes people of all abilities, and visitors are encouraged to use contactless payment whenever possible. Complimentary drinks will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis.

Autograph's events are popular and tend to sell out, so it is recommended to book tickets in advance. Refunds are available up to 24 hours before the event.

This book launch is made possible with the support of Arts Council England. Shining Lights is co-published by MACK Books and Autograph, London, with Joy Gregory as the editor. Autograph extends its gratitude to all contributors and the MACK team.

Join us at Autograph on February 22, 2024, for this momentous occasion celebrating the work of Black women photographers in 1980s-90s Britain.

The teacher is really professional and humorous. I have learned a lot of history and culture that I have never touched. It is worth &ldquo;everyone has their own cage, even if they can&rsquo;t break free, they have to try to escape the dilemma and get free.&rdquo;

美好的你看世界

After watching the Buckingham Palace changing ceremony, we arrived at Westminster Abbey. There were a lot of people in the queue, about an hour and a half before entering the church. There is a interpreter at the door, you can choose Chinese. Follow the team and the interpreter is also explained. My favorite is the Matisse-style painting window. The staff in the church is very high quality and the temperament is very good, which is awe-inspiring.

Buckingham Palace is a must-visit for history lovers, featuring stunning architecture and beautiful gardens. The official residence of the British monarch, it dates back to 1703 and serves as the venue for royal ceremonies and events. Visitors can enjoy a glimpse into royal life, with the Changing of the Guard being a popular attraction.

I thought it was a special ride on the Ferris wheel, but the London Eye made me hit the face! When the capsule reached the highest point, I suddenly understood why the British love to chat. The Thames, Big Ben and the debris building look like they are shining in the sun, and it is really different every day. After landing, I found that the photos were all taken as glass reflections. Forget it, leave some regrets to be true.

Windsor Castle

The Queen&#39;s favorite palace is very luxurious, but it is not allowed to take pictures. It can only be taken outside. When entering, a photo was taken and was stopped by the staff. Knowing the life of the royal family, Windsor Castle is generally very quiet.
