Often described as the ‘Godfather of Black British Photography’, Vanley Burke’s iconic images have stimulated debate and captured the evolving cultural landscape and social change in the UK over the past four decades – representing possibly the largest photographic record of the Caribbean Diaspora in Britain. In this conversation, hear Burke talk about his first inspirations, photographic practices and reasons to get political.

This event was chaired by Autograph curator, Bindi Vora.
