After The End Of History: British Working Class Photography 1989-2024, Bonnighton Gallery 2024

I was encouraged to view this exhibition to inform our first term counter culture brief. Curated by television presenter, writer and photographer Johnny Pitts, it extended an invitation to contemporary working class artists who turn their photographic lens inwards, examining themselves, those closest to them and their wider communities.

I have personal experience of the counter culture scene in the UK and Europe, indeed my connections with it's musical aspects was formative for me and continue to inform my sort of career as a DJ. So it was a real joy to see elements of the 80's and 90s rave scene being celebrated in a gallery space.

I particularly enjoyed the work shown by Kelley O'Brien and Rene Matic.
