In the seventies, photography was accepted as an art form for the first time and everyday life began to infiltrate in photography as a very important theme. Also, the camera was used as a social and political tool in times of political awareness and political and economic liberty of women. Now, the Dutch Photography Museum tries to give a unique image of the most important period in photography history with the exhibition 70s Photography and everyday life.

With the exhibition, pictures of different seventies photographers will be on display. For example, the work of David Goldblatt, William Eggleston, Eugene Richards and Ed van der Elsken. There's also a book, especially compiled for the occasion, called 70s Photography and everyday life as well. The opening of the exhibition is Saturday, June 5th, at 7.00 PM.
