A Practical Guide
On Abortion
'On Abortion' is the first part of Laia Abril's new long-term project, 'A History of Misogyny'. The work was first exhibited at Les Rencontres in Arles in 2016 and awarded the Prix de la Photo Madame Figaro and the Fotopress Grant. Abril documents and conceptualises the dangers and damage caused by women's lack of legal, safe and free access to abortion. She draws on the past to highlight the long, continuing erosion of women's reproductive rights through to the present-day, weaving together questions of ethics and morality, to reveal a staggering series of social triggers, stigmas, and taboos around abortion that have been largely invisible until now.
Division Street
In 2016 the Super Bowl came to San Francisco. The unhoused were moved to Division Street where, officials hoped, they would be 'invisible'. Amid the unlimited wealth of that 'super' week, the unhoused were crowded together in tents or sleeping rough on the ground. No facilities and no promises of permanent housing were given. The voices of the unhoused on Division Street are integral to this project. Through photographs, first-person storytelling, messages left on the street, media headlines and politicians' characterizations we see the invisible.

The Plain
The chalk grasslands of Salisbury Plain have been used since 1897 as a preparation ground for war. The heart of this ancient English landscape is an eerie and ambiguous space. Riven with contradictions and curiosities, The Plain continues Friend's investigation of everyday militarisation, revealing how war is embedded in this most English of landscapes. The Plain includes an essay by Matthew Flintham, artist and writer. It is co-edited by Pippa Oldfield, Head of Programme at Impressions Gallery and author of Photography and War (Reaktion, 2019).

All Zones Off Peak

Visually stunning and dramatically revealing it si a body of work of immense power.

The Heavens
Driven by a relentless obsession to translate this rather immaterial subject into images, Paolo Woods and Gabriele Galimberti have spent over two years travelling to the offshore centres that embody tax avoidance, secrecy, offshore banking and extreme wealth. Their photographs reveal a world of exploitation and privilege that distorts the financial markets and benefits those that already have the most. The book is presented as if it were an annual report and the accompanying text by author Nicholas Shaxson presents a clear insight into how these tax havens work.
