FOTH Photography Lectures: Joanne Coates | Hatton Gallery

Details

Join the FOTH Photography Lectures: Joanne Coates event in person at the Learning Room of the Hatton Gallery in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. Joanne Coates, a working-class visual artist, will be presenting her work utilizing the medium of photography. Coates' artwork delves into themes of rurality, hidden histories, and the inequalities surrounding low income. Through the mediums of photography, installations, and audio, she challenges narratives surrounding power, identity, wealth, and poverty. Coates received her education in working-class communities and later pursued a BA Hons Photography degree at the London College of Communication. Community engagement is a crucial aspect of her artistic practice. The event is free for members of the Friends of the Hatton, while non-members can attend for a fee of £5 at the door.
