Protest and photography go hand in hand. In 1963, when the Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thích Quảng Đức self-immolated in Saigon, Malcolm Browne, behind the lens, captured the seated figure engulfed in flames. It was not just the act itself but the immortalization of the act that shocked the world. This fact underpins the exhibition curated by Steve McQueen at Turner Contemporary, which traces 100 years of British resistance through photography, from 1903 to 2003, from the suffragettes to the mass movement against the Iraq War. The show is also a social history—one that begins with an empire and ends with an island. It highlights the photographers—including Philip Jones Griffiths, Stuart Franklin, and Edith Tudor-Hart—who refused to let these moments be forgotten. —Elena Clavarino
