Embassy Cultural House: Photographers

John Tamblyn (1947 - 2012) took this iconic image of the Embassy Hotel and Cultural House. John was the photographer who documented the work of many London and ECH artists.

From 1983 to 1990 numerous artists exhibited at the Embassy Cultural House.  Visual art exhibits were just one element of the programming held over the years. Other events included music concerts, film nights, performances, lectures, poetry readings and social gatherings. There was also an irregular tabloid newspaper that promoted and reviewed the programming at the Cultural House.

This dynamic community created a wonderful energy and  cultural buzz in East London. Local arts photographers were an important part of the life of an exhibit. All the exhibitions at the ECH were photographed in order to document the exhibit. In addition to the list below, members of the ECH board documented exhibitions or contributed photographic works to group exhibitions, including Ron Benner, Wyn Geleynse, Jamelie Hassan and Gerard Pas. These photos were often published in the ECH tabloid.
