We’ve teamed up with legendary photographer Martin Parr for an incredible free exhibition at Bristol Museum to showcase a retrospective of his photos from Bristol Pride.
The world-famous documentary photographer’s work showcases the city’s colourful Parade March, the 45k attendee-strong festival on The Downs, and all the different walks of life that come to celebrate and protest at Bristol Pride.
Parr’s work has become synonymous with fly-on-the-wall and candid documentary style, often provoking a mixed reaction and creating narratives with his perspective. His work has been collected by many of the world’s leading museums, from the Tate, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Having attended Bristol Pride multiple times as an attendee, Parr’s snapshots reveal a fascinating insight into the busy, colourful, and joyful event that Bristol Pride puts on annually.
Our thanks to Bristol Museum and The Martin Parr Foundation.
This free exhibition can be found upstairs in Bristol Museum.
