The exhibition presented an ongoing and inclusive photographic project that revisited the disruptive and radical Buffalo style movement that was born in 1980s Ladbroke Grove. Future Generation portrayed individuals found through street-casting and also in the children of friends Morgan has developed over his illustrious career, including Kate Moss, Ozwald Boateng and Annie Morris. The series celebrates British youth, representing its diverse identity today. The result is an indomitable record of contemporary Britain.
Jamie Morgan began his photographic career in the late 1970s as a teenager, photographing the emerging New Romantic cultural wave on the streets of London. Morgan is best known for adopting street casting in new ways and rejecting binary gender conformity in his life-long photographic celebration of individuality and agency for all. His first subjects were the icons of gender non-conformity, including Boy George, Steve Strange, Marilyn. With stylist Ray Petri, Morgan co-founded Buffalo. The name of the movement stems from a Caribbean expression that Petri adopted which was used to describe rude boys and rebels. Buffalo clashed gender, age and cultural stereotypes to better reflecting the diversity and lived experiences of British youth culture. It styled tough men with skirts and boots, combined utility sportswear with high fashion, cast boys as girls and children as adults. It reflected a generation emerging from an era of depression that was radically intent on self-expression through punk and DIY.
On the new series, Jamie Morgan says, “I photograph kids, not cute and smiling as is generally seen, but serious portraits, with each subject having their own individual character. We celebrate gender fluidity, allowing their free expression. These young people are the most real and honest subjects. They hold their strength and integrity simultaneously with their innocence. A photo shoot can be challenging as they need to focus but it is always an exciting experience and they feel seen, special and empowered. It is a great inspiration to me to know that we have captured them in a moment that will soon be gone forever.”
Ladbroke Hall presents a vibrant and packed cultural programme of the most cutting-edge talent across music, theatre, film, dance and art.
