“In a year of global societal and political upheaval that has seen the Black Lives Matter cause taken up around the world as well as hundreds of millions facing government restrictions on movement, this theme challenges participating photographers to reflect upon the power of togetherness in tumultuous times,” the organisation explains. “While acknowledging the daunting divisions and fault-lines running through society, the selection will examine a simultaneous human yearning for commune and connection, aiming to explore the strength of both the individual and collective, as well as the interdependence of peoples around the world in the face of adversity and oppression.”
With this theme in mind, the selection includes pictures from the 1950s to the present day that offer an incredible myriad of approaches to collectivity, identity, revolution, Blackness, politics, solidarity, positivity, change or otherness. With works by Martin Parr, Cristina de Middel, Stuart Franklin, Alex Webb, Antoine d’Agata, Hassan Hajjaj, Philippe Halsman, Robert Capa or Sohrab Hura, to mention just a few, the Square Print Sale is a unique opportunity to purchase artworks by highly renowned artists while also contributing to the betterment of society through art, photography and solidarity.
