Event description
Join artist Narbi Price and writer Mark Hudson for a talk and Q & A session at Sunderland Museum & Winter Gardens to find out about their different creative careers. The session will be followed by a guided tour of their new exhibition Going Back Brockens: Monuments and Rhetoric After the Miner’s Strike.
Dr Narbi Price was born in Hartlepool, UK, in 1979 and is a British painter and curator. He is a 2012 prize winner in the John Moore’s Painting Prize, 2017 winner of the Contemporary British Painting Prize and Visual Artist of the Year at The Journal Culture Awards 2018.
Mark Hudson was born in Harrogate in 1957 and is a British writer, journalist and art critic. Since 2021 he has been chief art critic of The Independent and has won multiple awards. His book Coming Back Brockens, based on a year spent in a former mining village in the north of England – where the author’s grandfather and great-grandfather were both miners – was acclaimed in The Independent as “a pained description of an England that has all but exhausted itself”.
About the Exhibition
Going Back Brockens is a major exhibition from award-winning artist Narbi Price and acclaimed writer Mark Hudson, sharing stories of hope and aspiration in mining communities 40 years after the Miners’ Strike.
The show features 43 new paintings by Narbi depicting locations across County Durham connected to the mining industry as they are now, alongside a sound installation created by Mark using interviews recorded with the people of Horden between 1991 – 92, several years after the Miners’ Strike.
The exhibition also features Where We Belong, a series of short films by Carl Joyce inspired by Mark Hudson’s evocative book Coming Back Brockens.
