2013-08-05John H. White (1945) is a renowned American photojournalist. His photography documents the everyday lives and political events in American cities, particularly Chicago. He was a staff photographer on the Chicago Sun-Times for 35 years, and won a Pulitzer prize in 1982. The exhibition concentrates on photographs depicting life for families living in Chicago housing projects in the 1980s.

Therefore this exhibition highlights the works by one of the world’s most influential photojournalists and as a testament to the enduring importance of this occupation.
