Saturday 6 September 2008 - Sunday 9 November 2008


Today, over 200 years after the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade, an estimated 27 million people are still locked into slavery and servitude across the globe. This exhibition, organised by Hayward Touring in collaboration with the photographic agencies Autograph ABP and Magnum Photos, takes an in-depth look at the prevalance of slavery today through the lenses of eight internationally acclaimed documentary photographers: Abbas Ian Berry, Stuart Franklin, Jim Goldberg, Susan Meiselas, Paolo Pellegrin, Chris Steele-Perkins and Alex Webb.
