The Gentle Author shows and discusses photographs of Whitechapel in the 70s from David Hoffman's new book

David’s bold, humane photography records a lost era, speaking vividly to our own times.

When he was a young photographer, David came to live in a squat in Fieldgate Mansions in Whitechapel and it changed his life. Over the following years, he documented homelessness, racism and the rise of protest in startlingly intimate and compassionate pictures to compose a vital photographic testimony of resilience.

Thanks to the courage and determination of the squatters who stopped the demolition, Fieldgate Mansions still stands providing invaluable housing to families in Whitechapel today.
