Book Tickets

One of the most controversial photographers of his time, Martin Parr’s images often have the power to both amuse and leave us ever so slightly uncomfortable, caught between laughter and the uneasy recognition of ourselves in his uncompromising portrait of consumer society.

Though he’s now celebrated, collected and exhibited worldwide, Parr’s early work did not find an easy public and was highly criticised for trivialising the working class. Yet, in retrospect, perhaps he was just observing what we often overlook - forcing it into the spotlight as an essential topic of discussion.

I am Martin Parr is the definitive portrait of an extraordinary photographer who revolutionised contemporary photography by inventing a political, humanist and accessible photographic language.

The Thu 20 Feb 18:00 preview screening will include a Q&A with Martin Parr and the film's director, Lee Shulman. This will be hosted by Shawn-Naphtali Sobers, Professor of Cultural Interdisciplinary Practice at UWE.
