Join the American civil rights photographer for this special talk

Known for her work during the Mississippi Civil Rights Movement, this is a unique opportunity to hear from activist and documentary photographer Dr Doris Derby. Derby is widely recognised for her explorations of Black history and culture, producing thousands of photographs documenting the struggles and hopes of African Americans from the 1960s through to the 1970s.

This public talk coincides with the 81-year-old’s inclusion in We Will Walk –Art and Resistance in the American South at Turner Contemporary in Margate, which features a selection of these photographs. Curated by artist Hannah Collins and theorist and researcher Paul Goodwin, the exhibition is open 7 February to 3 May 2020.
