Largest survey to date for pioneering Ghanaian-British photographer whose career spans six decades and two continents.

The work includes studio portraiture, photojournalism, editorial commissions and wider social commentary, all united by Barnor’s indelible connection with his sitters.

The exhibition features intimate images of African and Afro-diasporic lives across time and space, focusing on the period 1950 to 1980.
