Jill Posener Retrospective: 50 Years of Feminist Street Photography

auto_awesomePixelfetch Take
Jill Posener is receiving a retrospective spanning 50 years of work, anchored by her photographs of graffiti-subverted advertising billboards shot across London from the late 1970s. Her 1979 image of a Fiat billboard on Farringdon Road, with a handwritten feminist retort added by Morning Star office workers, became widely reproduced. The show revisits her practice of using humour as a counter to commercial misogyny and Thatcherite conservatism.
