Portrait of a City: A Century of American Photography @ Dulwich Picture Gallery

Portrait of a City: A Century of American Photography @ Dulwich Picture Gallery

Sat, Sep 5, 1:30 PM
From London Museums A-Z: for Gen Xers & Millennials (LoMAZ)
4.8

**Join us at the Dulwich Picture Gallery for the 'Portrait of a City: A Century of American Photography' exhibition.** Step into a century of American city life through photographs that capture the people who built, inhabited, and transformed urban spaces into living, breathing communities. The exhibition explores one hundred years of American urban life through the people who lived, worked, and moved through its streets. Featuring works by 34 influential photographers from 1907 to 2012, the exhibition traces how photography evolved alongside the modern city, capturing individuals and communities shaped by and shaping their environments. Set in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and San Francisco, the photographs reveal cities as dynamic stages for social change. From mass immigration and industrial growth to moments of counterculture and protest, photographers used urban spaces to examine identity, labour, and belonging. Adapting the traditions of portraiture, they recorded faces and lives that reflect the inner story of a nation in flux. Highlights include works by Alfred Stieglitz, Helen Levitt, Dorothea Lange, Lewis Hine, Berenice Abbott, Walker Evans, Diane Arbus, Garry Winogrand, and Bruce Davidson. Seen together, these portraits and cityscapes form a collective narrative that is both intimate and expansive, capturing the human experience at the heart of America’s evolving cities. **Read more here:** **[https://www.dulwichpicturegallery.org.uk/whats-on/portrait-of-a-city-a-century-of-american-photography/](https://www.dulwichpicturegallery.org.uk/whats-on/portrait-of-a-city-a-century-of-american-photography/)** **MEET DETAILS:** **FROM 1.45pm: MEET AT Dulwich Picture Gallery CAFE (optional)** Address: Dulwich Picture Gallery, 14 Gallery Road, London SE21 7AD Look out for the LoMAZ sign on the cafe table and host who will be wearing LoMAZ badges. **2.30pm: ENTER THE EXHIBITION** Address: Dulwich Picture Gallery, 14 Gallery Road, London SE21 7AD **4pm-Late: PUB SOCIAL (optional)** We'll head to a local pub for a social chit chat over drinks. *Location tbc 48 hours before event.* **TICKETS:** **You will need to purchase your own ticket for this event.** **Please book here:** **[https://secure.dulwichpicturegallery.org.uk/11813/11874](https://secure.dulwichpicturegallery.org.uk/11813/11874)** and choose the 2.30pm slot (or thereabouts).
