Everything Was Moving: Photography from the 60s and 70s - The Barbican

Graciela Iturbide, Our Lady of the Iguanas, Juchitan, Mexico, 1979 (a Zapotec woman wearing live iguanas)

Everything Was Moving: Photography of the 60s and 70s is at the Barbican Art Gallery until 13 January 2013.
The exhibition features the work of 12 photographers working in the period: Larry Burrows, Ernest Cole, Bruce Davidson, WilliamEggleston, David Goldblatt, Graciela Iturbide, Boris Mikhailov, SigmarPolke, Malick Sidibé, Raghubir Singh, Shomei Tomatsu and Li Zhensheng.
This was a politically dramatic (apartheid, Vietnam, Mao's cultural revolution, civil rights protest) and culturally rich period. The photographers featured are an international mix of perspectives and approaches. So diverse is the content that Adrian Searle suggests, in his review, that it might best be approached as a series of solo exhibitions.
