Maya Binkin curator of the Eve Arnold photographic exhibition, To Know About Women talks to Noni Needs about the latest solo photojournalistic exhibition.
Eve Arnold is behind some of the most iconic photographs of our time, born in 1912 in Philadelphia USA, she died in 2012, two weeks short of her 100th birthday.
She documented social justice, behind the scenes at the Harlem ladies’ fashion shows, women behind the veil series, people in China, and went into hospitals to photograph birth; all ground breaking at the time.
Maya said: “She knew how to be present and disappear in a room too. She built professional relationships with her subjects that developed into friendships like Malcolm X and Marylin Munroe, who she photographed for 10 years.”
Listen here to Maya’s myths behind the legend who is Eve Arnold.
