Description

What are the United States? Drawing on the archives of the Magnum Photos, Magnum America invites visitors to reflect on this question. Structured by decades, from the 1940s to the present day, the exhibition – organised by Fort Bard and Magnum Photos as part of their long-standing collaboration on photography and cultural history – juxtaposes ordinary and extraordinary people and events. It offers a moving portrait of the United States’ past and present while also questioning its future. The exhibition is inspired by the extensive publication Magnum America, published by Thames & Hudson in 2024.
