The photographs in this exhibition encapsulate a decade of social discontent and violence, reflecting significant changes in photographic practices and conceptual responses.
John Harris's image of a mounted policeman attacking a protestor and Paul Graham's subtler roundabout scene highlight contrasting styles that define the tensions of the 1980s.
The exhibition showcases the shift from monochrome to color and from photojournalism to a more aesthetic, detached documentary approach, inviting viewers to reconsider history.
Documenting the Decade reveals the power of activist photography in portraying the grounded realities of the 1980s, an era defined by resistance and turbulent protest.
