Hayward Gallery Touring’s ‘After the End of History’ will bring together working class artists who use photography to explore the nuances of working class life in all its diversity.
The exhibition, curated by Johnny Pitts , explores the challenges, beauty and diversity of contemporary working-class life.
The collection marks 35 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall and the symbolic end of Communism, with the weakening of the Soviet Union prompting economist Francis Fukuyama’s widely debated claim that Western Liberal Democracy represented an ideal form of government.
