Rena Effendi – Waiting for Winter
SATURDAY 7TH MARCH @ 2PM Rena will be giving a talk in the gallery about her current exhibition. The talk is free to all.
Saturday 11th January 2020 until Sunday 5th April 2020
The exhibition brings together works from three award-winning photographic series: Built on Grass (2014), Chernobyl: Still Life in the Zone (2010) and Khainaliq Village (2006).
The images document the back-breaking chores of farmers working the land in a traditional, almost mediaeval, fashion, in meadows and hills in Romania, Azerbaijan and Chernobyl.
Tessa Bunney – Otherwise Unseen
Saturday 11th January 2020 until Sunday 5th April 2020
For over 25 years Tessa has photographed rural life, working closely with individuals and communities to investigate how the landscape is shaped by humans. From hill farmers near her home in North Yorkshire to Icelandic puffin hunters, from Finnish ice swimmers to Romanian nomadic shepherds her projects reveal the fascinating intricacies of the dependencies between people, work and the land.
Shipbuilding on the Tyne
Film and Photographic exhibition
Witness the creative exploration of Year 5 pupils of Carville Primary School, Wallsend – inspired by the challenge of documenting their community’s shipbuilding heritage with the help of former shipyard workers during the summer of 2019.
YOUTH
Where ‘Youth’ starts and ends is flexible, it generally refers to the relatively short period between childhood and adulthood, a time of great transition in all our lives.
This exhibition features a wide selection of evocative and iconic images from the
AmberSide Collection, drawing on the work by Sophia Evans, Peter Bialobrzeski, Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen, Chris Killip, Tish Murtha, Karen Robinson, Chris Steele-Perkins, among others.
Tom Stoddart – Extraordinary Women
The exhibition and accompanying book will feature both familiar and less well known photographs displayed together to mark Tom’s 50 years in the industry.
