黑料不打烊

Legendary photographer Martin Parr teams up with Bristol Pride and Bristol Museums to showcase a retrospective of his photos of the city鈥檚 annual Pride festival. The world-famous documentary photographer stages a return to Bristol Museum & Art Gallery with a showcase of the city鈥檚 colourful Parade March. Images in the exhibition capture all the different walks of life that come to celebrate and protest at Bristol Pride. Parr鈥檚 work is characterised by a fly-on-the-wall and candid documentary style, famous for provoking a wide range of reactions. His work has been collected by many of the world鈥檚 leading museums, including the Tate, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. He established the Bristol-based Martin Parr Foundation in 2017. Bristol Pride has been the centrepiece of the city鈥檚 LGBTQ+ calendar since the current team revived the event in 2010. It has grown over the years, and now hosts a huge line up of events across the city which all build up to the Parade March through the city centre and Pride Day festival on The Downs. Bristol Museum & Art Gallery has hosted multiple Martin Parr exhibitions in the past, and is delighted to welcome this new, joyous celebration of the city鈥檚 diversity and community spirit. Daryn Carter MBE, Pride Director, said: 鈥淚t鈥檚 been such a pleasure and so exciting to work with the Martin Parr Foundation and Bristol Museum to display this unique retrospective. Martin鈥檚 work captures Pride鈥檚 themes of celebration, protest, and visibility in a brilliantly honest way. Having these photos showcased in Bristol Museum is also very special as throughout history, LGBTQ+ visibility often goes undocumented and forgotten. We鈥檙e really proud to have teamed up as a trio of Bristol institutions to deliver this exhibition鈥�.
