Exhibition Party / Dark Tales: British Documentary Photography and the Gothic
Advertisement
Join us for an evening of photography with our exhibition party to launch Dark Tales: British Documentary Photography and the Gothic.
With images spanning a period of more than 80 years depicting Britain from the post-war to the present era, Dark Tales explores the complex relationship between the Gothic and British documentary photography. This exhibition is part of the Bristol Photo Festival 2026 programme.
Photographs drawn largely from the MPF collection reveal waning industrial powers, claustrophobic domestic scenes, and menacing nocturnal activities, including work by Kjell-Åke Andersson, Bill Brandt, Anna Fox, Robert Frank, Don McCullin, Lee Miller, John Myers, Akihiko Okamura, Sue Packer, Charlie Philips, Sarah Pickering, Alice Poyzer, Jo Spence, Janine Wiedel and Donovan Wylie amongst others.
The event is sponsored by our friends and local brewery Lost and Grounded and complimentary beers from them will be available on the evening.
