These are some of the images that were part of the retrospective Who We Are: Photographs by Martin Jenkinson, Weston Park Museum, Sheffield
24 November 2018 - 14 April 2019
For over four decades Sheffield-based photojournalist Martin Jenkinson chronicled the drama and detail of our everyday lives.
During the 1980s, Jenkinson became known for his memorable images of British protests which were widely published in the national press. While these photographs became a familiar presence on the front pages, Jenkinson’s wider work was no less powerful. Each of the images he created was a candid insight into the communities we’re part of and the experiences we share.
Who We Are is the first major retrospective of Martin Jenkinson’s work. Offering a sometimes moving, sometimes humorous window onto the city’s character, his insightful photographs of Sheffield and its people will go on display alongside some of his most famous protest images, travel photography and more.
“This powerful retrospective highlights Jenkinson’s talent for capturing the humanity at the heart of the action.” - Read the full four-star review from The Guardian here: https://goo.gl/iNaetA
