British society, from the late 1960s until the late 1980s,
was in a state of unrest and transition, witnessing the
effects of de-industrialisation and the rise of
Thatcherism, the miners’ strikes and conflict in
Northern Ireland as well as radical shifts in the
structure of society itself. No Such Thing as Society
serves as a witness to these times, bringing together 150 photographs by 33 documentary
photographers among them Keith Arnatt, Victor Burgin, Peter Fraser, Paul Graham,
Brian Griffin, Chris Killip, Martin Parr, Tony Ray-Jones, Chris Steele-Perkins, Graham
Smith and Homer Sykes. The exhibition opens at Aberystwyth on 15 March 2008 before
embarking on a national and international tour
