GOING BACK BROCKENS: Monuments and Rhetoric After the Miners’ Strike’ Exhibition
GOING BACK BROCKENS: Monuments and Rhetoric After the Miners’ Strike is a major new exhibition of 40 new paintings of locations all over the county linked to the mining industry from award winning artist Narbi Price. Award winning writer Mark Hudson is creating a sound installation using interviews with the people of Horden carried out in 1991 – 92, when the Mines Strike is still very raw in collective memory.
The exhibition explores themes surrounding the 1984 miners strike and its legacy in County Durham 40 years on. Horden, a village on the east coast of Durham, is where the story begins. Once thriving as Europe’s most productive pit, now considered a ‘left behind’ neighbourhood, the project is asking the people or Horden to share their stories and memories to guide the project.

When: Friday 13 June to Saturday 5 July 2020, 5.00pm to 9.00pm.
Where: The Warehouse, Newgate Centre, Bishop Auckland, County Durham, DL14 7JQ
