Artist Narbi Price and writer Mark Hudson share stories of hope and aspiration in mining communities, 40 years after the Miners’ Strike, in a new exhibition at Sunderland Museum and Winter Gardens.

Fittingly – seeing as it’s 40 years after that era-defining strike – Narbi Price has created 40 new paintings for this show depicting locations across County Durham connected to the mining industry as they are now. The paintings (including ‘But at the End of the Day, Nobody Went Away Without’ – pictured) are displayed alongside a sound installation that has been created by the acclaimed writer Mark Hudson. These use interviews recorded with the people of Howden between 1991-92, several years after the strike took place.
