Exhibition: Societal shift

The show builds upon Margaret Thatcher's famous comment that "There is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families."

From scruffy adolescents at a playground and beauty queens waiting backstage, to working-class people waiting for attention at a hospital, the images offer a broad picture of British society during a time of much social and political upheaval.

This cross-section of photographs of Britain through the lenses of Keith Arnatt, John Benton Harris, Ian Berry, Derek Boshier, Victor Burgin and many others comes from the collections of the Arts Council and the British Council.

The exhibition runs through  January 11, 2009, at the Centre for Contemporary Art at Ujazdowski Castle, ul. Jazdów 2.
