Our Freedom: Then and Now | 20th April - 11th May

We are delighted to present Our Freedom: Then and Now, a vibrant national photography exhibition bringing together images from 60 locally led projects, marking 80 years since the end of the Second World War.

This exhibition features work from communities across the UK - including our own project, created here in Hartlepool, as part of the national programme. Working with local veterans and community organisations, we explored what freedom meant in this community in 1945 and how those ideas resonate today. Our contribution now sits alongside 59 other projects to form a powerful nationwide portrait of people, place and belonging. The exhibition opened at the Southbank Centre in London and is now touring to 18 arts centres and libraries across the UK, including Hartlepool.

Our Freedom: Then and Now is delivered by Future Arts Centres in partnership with Libraries Connected and supported using public funding by the UK Government through Arts Council England. The exhibition is produced by Future Arts Centres, Open Eye Gallery and the Socially Engaged Photography Network.
