‘They are here because you were there. There is an umbilical connection. There is no understanding Englishness without understanding its imperial and colonial dimensions.’ Stuart Hall, 2008 This quote frames Black Chronicles II, a major exhibition at Autograph ABP, Rivington Place, London, of over 200 photographs, the majority of which have never been exhibited or published before. This display aims to contribute to an ongoing process of research attempting to redress the persistent ‘absence’ of the black subject within the historical record. Black Chronicles II is a public showcase of Autograph ABP’s commitment to continuous critical enquiry into archive images. Black Chronicles II is at Rivington Place until November 29 2014. autograph-abp.co.uk/exhibitions/black-chronicles-ii
