1st September saw the opening of my first art exhibition, at Path Head Water Mill near Blaydon,  with a series of nine drawings and one photograph exploring our great human rights' heritage in Northeast England.

The themes explored include, the early Radical Newcastle of the late 18th century, the anti-slavery movement in Newcastle and the Northeast, Joseph Cowen and the the Cooperative Movement, the visit of Guiseppe  Garibaldi to Newcastle in 1854, the Jarrow March in 1936, the liberation of Belsen Camp by the Durham Light Infantry, Newcastle university honouring Martin Luther King in 1967 and the response in the region to the tragic murder of Jo Cox in 2016.

Some examples of the artwork can be found on the Art page along with a longer description, and an piece from the Chronicle which featured the exhibition on Sunday 3rd September.   

Many thanks to all at Path Head Water Mill.
