NCA PRESENTS in the HIGH BRIDGE WORKS FOYER a solo exhibition by local photographer Hazel Plater.

Following the Covid-19 pandemic, Plater returned to the streets of Newcastle upon Tyne to record the re-emergence of people into the public space.

Photographed in the candid street style, the works in this social documentary series are sometimes humorous, sometimes poignant, and a celebration of the resilience, hope and pride that is found in community. These are 'quick pics of people doing stuff' and simultaneously a nuanced reflection on humanity, ourselves and our challenges.

EVENT 1: Wednesday, 13th September 2023, 3 - 5:30 pm

Meet the photographer for an informal drop-in chat about the exhibition. Signed, limited edition copies of The Re-Emergence book available from Maplestreet Press 'pop up shop'.
