Dressing Room No.1
Main Gallery
Saturday 2 March to Saturday 1 June
Born and raised in Bishop Auckland, photographer Sophie Teasdale has been delving behind the scenes into a world that we rarely get to see…backstage in theatres.
For over a decade Sophie has photographed actors and musicians in the safe haven of their dressing rooms, from local North East venues to London’s West End, with the aim to capture that golden moment somewhere between real life and the bright lights of the stage.
She Shall Be Called Woman
The Strong Room
Saturday 2 March to Saturday 1 June
She Shall Be Called Woman is a body of work which celebrates women, by women. The images, by photographer Elaine Vizor, span a decade showing contemporary and environmental portraiture of females in different roles and landscapes, and in the accompanying soundscape, by writer and broadcaster Marie Gardiner, you hear the voices of some of those featured in the images and the authentic sounds of the Durham Dales.
Our gallery is open from 10am to 4pm, Monday to Saturday (excluding bank holidays). All exhibitions are free of charge.
