{"product_id":"tate-photography-ajamu-x","title":"Tate Photography: Ajamu X","description":"Self-portraiture then is a way to interrogate not just who I am in terms of my identity and sexuality, but, more importantly, who I can fantasise myself to be.\" Ajamu X, born in Huddersfield in 1963, is a British photographic artist, curator, archivist and activist. He is best known for his fine art photography which explores same-sex desire, the erotic and sensory, and the Black queer body. As a leading specialist in Black British LGBTQ+ history, heritage and memory, his work as an archivist and activist documents the lives and experiences of Black LGBTQ+ people in the United Kingdom. His work is held in many private and public collections, including Tate, the Rose Art Museum, Autograph, Arts Council of England, and the Victoria \u0026amp; Albert Museum. \"I think photography privileges the visual, but in the darkroom the other senses kick in: the sonic, the tactility, the smell is important too.","brand":"Tate Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42665019572260,"sku":"9781849769563","price":24.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9781849769563.jpg?v=1776195916","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/tate-photography-ajamu-x","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
