Members and their guests experience major exhibitions before they open to the public. Ideas of Africa: Portraiture and Political Imagination examines how striking pictures by photographers working in Central and West African cities contributed to Pan-African solidarity during the mid-20th century, and embraces the creative potential of the photographic portrait and its political resonance across the globe.

This event accompanies Ideas of Africa: Portraiture and Political Imagination.
This event is part of Member Previews and Corporate Member events.
