The 2022 exhibition of the London-based gallery Four Corners celebrates images by feminist photographers, who have used their cameras to support social change in Britain from 1968 to the present.
Photographing Protest explores how women and nonbinary photographers, and those making work within a feminist context have shaped the representation of public protest. Posing a challenge to the male-dominated history of reportage, it explores how photographers have created alternative, feminist narratives.
The design process centred on translating the exhibition's curatorial narrative into a publication that was both documentary and archival. The visual language needed to support a diverse collection of photographs spanning more than fifty years of activism while reflecting the exhibition's feminist perspective on protest photography.
