Brasilia Project
A Photographic Exhibition
works by Hannah J. Taylor
16 May/16 June 2007
Mon – Fri 10.30 a.m. to 6.30 p.m.
Brazilian Contemporary Arts, in association with the University
of Oxford Centre for Brazilian Studies, will be hosting an
exhibition of Hannah J Taylor’s Brasília Project,
in May-June 2007. |
Brazil’s capital city and architectural phenomenon was
created in the 1950s in the space of just three years and
inaugurated in 1960. As chief architect, Oscar Niemeyer designed
almost all of Brasilia’s prestigious buildings.
Possibly the most intensely personal talent in architecture,
Oscar Niemeyer turned 100 this year. This coincides with the
half centenary of the city’s inception. As a result,
these images will form the centrepiece of a wider calendar
of events to celebrate one of the greatest modern creators
of our time.
The Brasilia Photographic Exhibition features large-scale
photographs that play to Niemeyer’s sensibilities. Hannah
J. Taylor, an emerging talent in large format urban landscapes,
retains a striking beauty in her images. They reinforce the
vision with which the city was created, whilst hinting at
a peculiar lack of human presence.
Hannah J. Taylor
graduated with a first class degree in photography from Falmouth
College of Arts in 2003. For the past four years Hannah has
specialised in architecture and urban landscape undertaking
both commissions and personal projects. She has collaborated
in numerous exhibitions and was recently featured in the Royal
Photographic Society Journal under the title ‘Coming
Up Fast’. Her passion for the modern city continues
to drive her personal work.

LONDON PHOTO EXHIBITION PUTS GLOBAL SLAVERY
INTO FOCUS
Forgotten But Not Gone: Slavery and Resistance 200 Years
After Abolition, a striking new photo exhibition exposing
the global realities of slavery today, opens on 21 March at
the OXO Gallery, South Bank, London. Two hundred years after
Britain abolished the Transatlantic Slave Trade, at least
12 million people worldwide – including in the UK –
are in slavery.

Photojournalist Pete
Pattisson, in collaboration with Anti-Slavery International,
reveals the range of enslavement that affects men, women and
children in India, Haiti, Ghana, Burma, Ireland and the UK
through photographs and intimate stories. This exhibition
is a compelling reminder that slavery is exploitation in its
most extreme form and does not discriminate by age, race or
sex.
