Gordon Parks: We Shall Not Be Moved

5 Mar-11 Apr 2026

Overview

Alison Jacques, in partnership with The Gordon Parks Foundation, and on the occasion of the Foundation’s 20th Anniversary, presents ‘Gordon Parks: We Shall Not Be Moved’, a solo exhibition by pioneering American artist Gordon Parks (b.1912, Fort Scott, US; d.2006, New York), curated by renowned social justice activist, Attorney Bryan Stevenson (b.1959, Delaware), founder and Executive Director of the Equal Justice Initiative in Montgomery, Alabama.

Speaking about his curation of the exhibition, Stevenson says: ‘The scope of the images from Parks represents the struggle, resilience and constant striving of Black Americans.’ Stevenson’s selection spans 25 years of Parks’ practice (1942-1967) and focuses on Parks as a humanitarian with a deep commitment to social justice. Stevenson comments: ‘As an African American survivor of racial injustice, Parks was keenly aware of race and class in America, and this palpably informed his work.’
