Armed with cameras, the Photo League collective working in New York used radical photography as a tool for social justice, documenting marginalised communities and bringing to the surface cruel realities of the big city. Presented in collaboration with the Howard Greenberg Gallery, the exhibition showcases the group’s work from 1936 to 1951, when it was disbanded after being targeted as a communist organisation and blacklisted.
