Street Level Photoworks in partnership with the Marzaroli Collection and Gorbals Library, are delighted to present this permanent display of 21 historical photographs of the Gorbals by famed Scots-Italian photographer Oscar Marzaroli (1933 –1988).
Through portraits and landscapes, Marzaroli captured Glasgow during an exceptional time when city slums were being cleared to make way for new social housing. His images perfectly encapsulate the atmosphere surrounding those fundamental shifts in society.
Oscar was a photographer of great ability, who captured the nature of the city and people with sensitivity and empathy.
