North: Fashioning Identity

It’s time to cast your eyes away from the capital and turn your attention to our pals up North where it's not so grim after all. Those wind-swept, moor-filled climes have inspired some truly great photography, fashion and art – all of which will be on display in Somerset House’s ‘North: Fashioning Identity’. The exhibition features contemporary photography, fashion collections and multimedia artworks alongside social documentary film and photography, highlighting how the realities of northern English life in the 20^th century continue to influence new generations of photographers, artists and designers. Over 100 photographs will be capturing collective visions of Northern England from Berwick-upon-Tweed to Brikenhead.
