From children playing in Handsworth Park to family celebrations and public demonstrations, for over 30 years Vanley Burke has captured the everyday life of Britain’s black community. Born in Jamaica in 1951, Vanley Burke moved to Birmingham in 1965, armed with his camera given to him by his grandmother for his 10th birthday. He started photographing daily life in the community around him in 1967 and has continued to the present day.
