Event description

That’s the first 25 years and everything has changed.

The Sunderland Indie looks up and finds nation fighting nation, epidemic and pandemic, climate change and riot, fire and flood, storm and rupture, Brexit and drowned boys, and everything is BROKEN.

The Sunderland Indie, 25 years on: still searching, still questioning, still creating in the spaces where the world comes apart. Broken brings together new and recent works from local contemporary artists who respond to the fractures of modern life with honesty, urgency, and imagination.
