MEDITATIONS ON LOVE
The Photographers’ Gallery


Meditations On Love welcomes you to consider how love is represented, preserved and remembered through an archive of photobooks, novels and nonfiction works curated by the Develop Collective for The Photographers’ Gallery.  

Designed as a reading room, everyone is invited to explore the multitude of books and reflect on the common thread that runs through stories of resilience, community, friendship, subversion, identity and queerness.  

Presenting the many languages of love through a global lens, photobooks from Tami Aftab, Ollie Adegboye, Deana Lawson, Ewen Spencer, and many others explore love’s complex and varying iterations: tender, provocative, queer, defiant and sacrificial.

From Palestine to Switzerland, Argentina to Taiwan, Meditations on Love investigates different facets of love for all who have been both graced by and fallen victim to its numerous manifestations.   

Together, this collection of eclectic narratives attempts to articulate love’s capacity to endure amidst adversity, and its revolutionary power to resist.   

Meditations On Love is curated by the Develop Collective with The Photographers’ Gallery.
