Simon Roberts: We English
12 March – 5 September 2010
National Media Museum, Gallery One
This exhibition is an investigation of the English at leisure. Between August 2007 and September 2008 Simon Roberts travelled the length and breadth of England, documenting people at play, relaxing and revelling.
Roberts' journey has been influenced by a long and rich tradition of landscape and social photography. As an introduction to the exhibition we are also presenting a selection of works from the Museum's Collection that Roberts looked to for inspiration.
Hear Simon Roberts discuss some of the photographs from We English through an accompanying audio and pod tour. This includes an introduction by Greg Hobson, Curator of Photographs at the National Media Museum.
The audio tour is available for free from the Box Office on the ground floor of the National Media Museum and as an MP3 download for your iPod or multimedia player from the exhibition website: www.nationalmediamuseum.org.uk/simonroberts/exhibition/AudioGuide
