Documentary photography and photo-journalism have such a distinct role to play in recording the lived experience of our national story. I stumbled upon the fantastic work being done by the British Culture Archive during a rare moment of Twitter serendipity. These moments in time tell our national story like no other: each image a celebration of the diversity and unpredictability of British social culture.
At a time when our culture is increasingly being replaced by false narratives, it’s even more important to create permanent physical, as well as online spaces for initiatives such as this. If you want to support the project to create a permanent exhibition space in the north west of England, there’s a crowdfunder page here.
