Consider how love is represented, preserved and remembered through an archive of photobooks, novels and nonfiction works in Meditations on Love curated by the Develop Collective for 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.
