BP British Art Displays: Don McCullin / "Throughout his career Don McCullin has documented the devastation caused by events of international significance, including conflicts in Vietnam, Lebanon, Cyprus, Biafra... This display, selected in collaboration with McCullin, takes a broader view of his photographic practice, [from] one of his first overseas assignments (Berlin in 1961) to studies of homeless people in east London and the urban landscapes of northern England. From the late 1980s McCullin has been increasingly interested in rural landscapes, producing dramatic compositions from places as different in character as the countryside around his Somerset home and the former battlefields of the Somme." / free

Guy Martin and Ivor Prickett: The Last Days of Mubarak / "One year on from the uprising in Egypt that led to the resignation of Hosni Mubarak, Foto8 presents an exhibition of photography documenting the unrest in Cairo’s Tahrir Square in February 2011. Inspired by the events in Tunisia, the people of Cairo who opposed the 30-year reign of Mubarak took to the streets and demanded a regime change. What started as a peaceful protest quickly grew violent – clashes between pro- and anti-Mubarak protesters led to the death of an estimated 840 people. Yet the protest’s aims were finally realised when Mubarak stepped down on 11 February."

The Bigger Picture - A.A. Gill and Tom Craig / "From Svalbard to Chad, photographer Tom Craig and writer A.A. Gill have travelled together on assignments across four continents in the last eight years. Flaere Gallery brings together 20 unseen photographs by Tom Craig with accompanying text by A.A. Gill. On their travels, the two connect the dots between disparate worlds – from life on a North Sea trawler to the glaciers of Greenland; encountering Tasmanian devils, Haitian hotspots and cricket matches on the streets of St Pauls. Days are punctuated by conversations about experiences past and present: Why is that Eskimo so drunk? Is that marsupial carnivorous? Are countries at war more successful fuelled on a diet of wheat or rice?"

Proud Chelsea / 161 King's Road, Chelsea, London SW3 5XP

Last Days of the Arctic / "Proud Chelsea is delighted to present Last Days of the Arctic: a moving and insightful photographic portrait of a disappearing landscape and the Inuit people who inhabit it, by celebrated photojournalist Ragnar Axelsson. Inspired by the fast-diminishing way of life of communities dependent on nature and the land around them for survival, Axelsson presents us with a breathtaking introduction to a life of Greenlandic hunters in one of the most remote regions of the world, and at once demonstrates its temporality."

Brancolini Grimaldi / 43-44 Albemarle Street, London W1S 4JJ

Lise Sarfati: She / "Lise Sarfati’s series She, made between 2005 and 2009, features four American women – two sisters, their mother Christine and her sister Gina. Sarfati has photographed them separately in various settings from the interiors of Victorian houses to outside on the street. Sometimes wearing wigs or make up, it is hard to distinguish the pairs of sisters from each other and there is a sense that their identity is fluid, almost interchangeable. Their expressions are often inscrutable though each photograph is filled with psychological intensity and often melancholia. The project took four years to complete, but time is compressed, years are mixed up so in the end, the individual images of these four women make up one story."

Tate Modern / Bankside, London SE1 9TG

Photography: New Documentary Forms / "This new five-room display explores the ways in which five contemporary artists have used the camera to explore, extend and question the power of photography as a documentary medium. Consisting entirely of new acquisitions to Tate’s collection, it includes recent work by Luc Delahaye, Mitch Epstein, Guy Tillim and Akram Zaatari, as well as two important earlier works by Boris Mikhailov. Between them they cover subjects as diverse as the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, studio photography in Beirut, elections in the Congo, everyday life in pre- and post-Soviet Ukraine, and power production in the United States." / free

Tate Modern / Bankside, London SE1 9TG

Artist Rooms: Diane Arbus / "Diane Arbus (1923–71) is acknowledged as one of the great figures of American photography who fixed remarkable images of contemporary life. Her sympathy for her subjects exposed the variety and complexity of the human condition. This three-room display is drawn from ARTIST ROOMS. ARTIST ROOMS On Tour is an inspired partnership with the Art Fund – the fundraising charity for works of art..." / free

The Victoria and Albert Museum / Cromwell Road, London SW7 2RL

Queen Elizabeth II by Cecil Beaton / "The photographs of the royal family by Sir Cecil Beaton (1904-1980) were central to shaping the monarchy's public image in the mid-20th century. HM Queen Elizabeth II was still a young princess when she first sat for Beaton in 1942. Over the next 3 decades he would be invited to photograph the Queen on many significant occasions, including her Coronation Day in 1953. The most memorable of his images combine the splendour of historic royal portrait painting with an intimacy that only photography and film can convey. His detailed diary accounts reveal the complexities of each sitting, from the intense planning and excitement to the pressures of achieving the perfect shot."
