Join us for a live online Q&A with artists Nicholas J.R. White and Dawn Parsonage, hosted by our very own curator Phil Northcott, as they discuss their recent commissions inspired by the Sankey Photography Archive.

Through two distinct yet deeply connected approaches, Nicholas and Dawn have responded to this remarkable archive, Barrow’s past and present and its people  — bringing fresh perspectives to images of local people and places from over a century ago.

In this relaxed and insightful conversation, the artists will share their creative journeys, talk about the stories and images that inspired them, and reflect on the challenges and joys of working with historical material in contemporary photography.

It’s a brilliant opportunity to see how Barrow’s heritage is sparking new creative work, and how the town’s unique history continues to inspire and resonate today.
