David Hoffman’s bold, humane photography records a lost decade, speaking vividly to our own times. Living in Whitechapel through the Seventies, David documented homelessness, racism and the rise of protest in startlingly intimate and compassionate pictures to compose a vital photographic testimony of resilience.

This exhibition coincides with the publication of David Hoffman’s monograph by Spitalfields Life Books, Endurance & Joy in the East End 1971–1987.
