This book focuses on one of the most successful photography exhibitions in history, The Family of Man. With this exhibition as its reference point, the authors take a closer look at visual and material objects examining their relevance for educational issues and exhibition designs. This book not only looks at how the presentational, representational and social power of images, objects and designs was deliberately used by political and cultural stakeholders during the mid-1950s, but also how these technologies of display travelled through time and space and, as historical objects, interacted – and continue to interact – with new contexts and Audiences.
