An upcoming photography exhibition at the Fishbar gallery in Dalston will shed light on the multi-faceted nature of Indian society in Delhi from the 1950s onwards.

Father and Son offers two generational perspectives, with Richard Bartholemew taking a poignant look through the lens at an emerging 50s bohemia that helped to shape the city’s individuality and his son Pablo documenting the visceral immediacy of backstreet life in 70s Delhi. Both photographers beautifully captured the simplicity of everyday life as well as the tribulations behind the scenes of the bustling city’s everyday veneer.

The show runs from 1st – 21st September in an old converted fish and chip shop that now serves as a photography studio, run by photographers Olivia Arthur and Philipp Ebeling.
