About the exhibition:
This exhibition tells the story of The Exit Photography Group who chronicled the lives of people inhabiting several of the UK’s largest cities through deeply expressive photographs and interviews beginning in 1974.
Their efforts were eventually published in 1982 as the book ‘Survival Programmes’, which revealed a country wracked by creaking social support services, inequalities and where opportunities were thinly spread.
Alongside this story, materials from the Child Poverty Action Group, and other campaigns and publications from the early 1980s, contextualise the fissures that Exit documented.
Curated by and Indy Bhullar (Curator for Economics and Social Policy, LSE Library), Dr. Cadence Kinsey (Utrecht University), Chelsea Collison (Learning and Engagement Officer, LSE Library)
