A World Observed 1940 - 2010: Photographs

Manchester Art Gallery

This is the first comprehensive retrospective tracing one exceptional woman's career across six decades and several continents.

From vintage portraits through jewel-like Polaroids to colourful images of contemporary life, our absorbing exhibition features around 200 prints by leading photographer Dorothy Bohm.

Discover a wide array of aesthetically striking and deeply humane works that document the people and landscapes of Africa, Europe and North America in a rapidly changing world.

Plus, explore a recreation of Bohm’s 1940s portrait studio and (re)discover the fading art of film processing in our replica dark room.
