Portrait of a City: A Century of American Photography @ Dulwich Picture Gallery

**Join us at the Dulwich Picture Gallery for the 'Portrait of a City: A Century of American Photography' exhibition.** Step into a century of American city life through photographs that capture the people who built, inhabited, and transformed urban spaces into living, breathing communities. The exhibition explores one hundred years of American urban life through the people who lived, worked, and moved through its streets. Featuring works by 34 influential photographers from 1907 to 2012, the exhibition traces how photography evolved alongside the modern city, capturing individuals and communities shaped by and shaping their environments. Set in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and San Francisco, the photographs reveal cities as dynamic stages for social change. From mass immigration and industrial growth to moments of counterculture and protest, photographers used urban spaces to examine identity, labour, and belonging. Adapting the traditions of portraiture, they recorded faces and lives that reflect the inner story of a nation in flux. Highlights include works by Alfred Stieglitz, Helen Levitt, Dorothea Lange, Lewis Hine, Berenice Abbott, Walker Evans, Diane Arbus, Garry Winogrand, and Bruce Davidson. Seen together, these portraits and cityscapes form a collective narrative that is both intimate and expansive, capturing the human experience at the heart of America’s evolving cities. **Read more here:** **[https://www.dulwichpicturegallery.org.uk/whats-on/portrait-of-a-city-a-century-of-american-photography/](https://www.dulwichpicturegallery.org.uk/whats-on/portrait-of-a-city-a-century-of-american-photography/)** **MEET DETAILS:** **FROM 1.45pm: MEET AT Dulwich Picture Gallery CAFE (optional)** Address: Dulwich Picture Gallery, 14 Gallery Road, London SE21 7AD Look out for the LoMAZ sign on the cafe table and host who will be wearing LoMAZ badges. **2.30pm: ENTER THE EXHIBITION** Address: Dulwich Picture Gallery, 14 Gallery Road, London SE21 7AD **4pm-Late: PUB SOCIAL (optional)** We'll head to a local pub for a social chit chat over drinks. *Location tbc 48 hours before event.* **TICKETS:** **You will need to purchase your own ticket for this event.** **Please book here:** **[https://secure.dulwichpicturegallery.org.uk/11813/11874](https://secure.dulwichpicturegallery.org.uk/11813/11874)** and choose the 2.30pm slot (or thereabouts).

Opportunity to visit St Paul's Cathedral with no admission charge

10 Tickets only! Light supper at 5.15 for those who wish to join, otherwise Cathedral at 6.20. This is a special ticket only open night at St Paul's. As a group, we will take the opportunity to look around the inside of St Paul’s Cathedral in the evening light and explore the Cathedral’s heritage. We will have the opportunity to hear little known stories from the rich history with Spotlight Talks from expert guides, and self-guided trails. We will also get the chance to see a range of heritage skills with displays from highly skilled craftspeople including stone masons and embroiderers and join handling sessions with the Collections team. Both at the same time and following the activities above, those who wish, may also take part, but separate from the group, in some of the more spiritual and religious activities going on at the same time, such as an opportunity to sample Christian mindfulness, music from the Cathedral Consort, and much more. Also, following our group visit, and again, only for those interested to stay (I won't be staying), the evening will close with a sung service of Compline under the Dome. The Crypt will be open for the evening as will as the Cafe. but please note the Dome Galleries won't be open. As a group, we will likely stay at in the Cathedral for 1 to 1.5 hours. After that, you are welcome to stay on individually as discussed above. As always, please only sign up if you are intending to attend. The event is free, except for this special event we are asking for a non refundable £3.00 meetup group maintenance fee, upon which meetup will also charge you a small amount on top. Before the visit, I intend to go for a light inexpensive supper at Pipel, which is just around the corner. For those who don't know Pipel, they serve fresh healthy falafel, and unlike other falafel, they do not add flour but instead use 100% chickpeas, fresh vegetables and spices, cooked to perfection and served with the best salads and pitas. Weather permitting, other choices may be available if it is warm and dry enough to eat in the square where a number of other cheap food outlets are located. It would be lovely if as many of you as possible join me, and we will likely meet there at 5 to 5.15. [https://www.pilpel.co.uk/our-food/](https://www.pilpel.co.uk/our-food/) As we have a limited number of places, we would appreciated it if you cancelled no later than 3 days before the event and to please avoid cancelling on the day as that may get you removed from the group.
