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.
