Tish Murtha & Kuba Ryniewicz: Close to Home

About This Event

This free exhibition brings together, for the first time, four major series by the celebrated documentary photographer Tish Murtha, including Elswick Kids, Elswick Revisited, Save Scotswood Works and Youth Unemployment. Her images of working-class life in Newcastle's West End are shown alongside newly created work by Newcastle-based artist Kuba Ryniewicz. The exhibition runs from July 2026 to 4 April 2027, so it is available throughout the autumn. Entry is free and the galleries open Wednesday to Sunday. It is of particular regional interest given Murtha's deep roots in the North East.
