An exhibition of work by documentary photographers recording Britain's state of transition and unrest between the 1960s and 1980s.

No Such Thing As Society brings together 150 photographs by photographers including Martin Parr, Keith Arnatt and Victor Burgin. The exhibition takes its name from Margaret Thatcher's famous statement, 'society? There is no such thing. There are individual men and women and there are families.'

The exhibition includes a shot by Tish Murtha, taken in the 1980s, of teenagers in Newcastle's West end which originally included the caption, 'they see no real future for themselves.'

A Hayward Touring exhibition from the Arts Council Collection, on behalf of Southbank Centre, London.
