As the first African-American photographer to work for the Farm Security Administration in Washington D.C. in the 1930s and 40s, Parks developed his particular style in portraying groups and individuals suffering social disregard or discrimination. This work approach as a socially committed photographer was what defined his later work for Life Magazine, for decades the most prominent photojournalist publication in the world.
The exhibition provides an impressive overview of the many facets of Parks’ work with approximately 180 photographs, original magazine publications and contact sheets. Devised in cooperation with Felix Hoffmann, Chief Curator at C/O Berlin, and the Gordon Parks Foundation in New York, the exhibition is under the patronage of US Consul General James W. Herman.
