The Martin Parr Foundation is holding a seminar day to launch a new major publication from Gerry Badger, Another Country, British Documentary Photography since 1945 (thames & Hudson) which showcases the social and cultural history of Britain since the Second World War. Organised chronologically, each chapter spans a period of social and cultural history, focusing on the major photographers, figures, institutions, publications and galleries that shaped the photographic climate of that time.
The seminar day will consist of a series of talks from photographers who are represented in the book, followed by a panel discussion. The day includes:
- Introduction, with Martin Parr and Gerry Badger
- John Bulmer
- Hannah Starkey

- Elaine Constantine
- Panel discussion with Olivia Arthur (photographer and president at Magnum Photos), Gerry Badger (writer), Sunil Gupta (photographer), David Hurn (photographer), Alona Pardo (curator, Barbican) and Martin Parr (photographer).
