The Centre for British Photography is a new gallery opening in January 2023 as a hub for British Photography. Located in central London with 8,000 square feet of space over three floors, the Centre will stage specially curated exhibitions and work with partner organisations across the UK. It will also present works from the Hyman Collection in order to provide an over-view of British photography.

Sarah’s work will be in ‘Headstrong’, curated by Anna Fox.

‘Headstrong’ celebrates the work of living photographers based in Britain. It looks at women who have made work that is concerned with how they are represented, what they are dealing with in their everyday lives and what it means to embrace diversities that challenge the conservative order of a patriarchal society. Their work is playful, thought-provoking and often surprising.

Anna Fox, from Fast Forward, comments:

“Fast Forward and Centre for British Photography are celebrating the work of women artists and photographers, based in the UK, who are breaking the mould, proposing new ideas and inventing new identities. This exhibition foregrounds artists and photographers who have been using self-portraiture as a tool to crack open the oppressive, often punishing nature of patriarchy. From exposing cyberbullies to exploring the multiplicity of female identity these portraits re-invent out dated concepts of how we should behave, how we should be and what we can become. The work speaks back to the tedious drone of misogynist culture(s) and proposes new ways of being and understanding.”
