HAZEL PLATER - The re-emergence
12th september - 12th october, 2023
Open: Monday - friday, 9am - 5pm
high bridge works foyer
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.
