New book 'Le Crowbar' by our External Examiner Tom Hunter

In 1995 Tom Hunter set off from a squatted street in Hackney with a group of friends in an old double decker bus, loaded with muesli, Sosmix, baby-foot table and a sound system. Fuelled by selling egg butties, veggie burgers and beer, their journey took them through folk festivals in France, teknivals in Czech Republic, hippie gatherings in Austria and beach parties in Spain. Le Crowbar Café became an oasis for a nomadic party community hungry for all night food and a break from the hardcore techno.

‘Le Crowbar’ paints a vivid picture of friends on a journey, exploring new horizons and ways of living on the road, in the wake of the introduction of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994.

Current Exhibition

'Inspirational Women of North-East England' and 'Love From, Women' exhibitions

Saturday 11 January - Thursday 20 February 2014

Enjoy two complimentary exhibitions at Crown Street Art Gallery. 
Inspirational Women of North-East England: Past, Present, Future
'Inspirational Women of the North East' is a portrait exhibition featuring the work of photographers Bryony Bainbridge and Kami Dodds, celebrating the achievements of women who have played a vital role within the North East, including politician Mo Mowlam, suffragette Emily Davison and explorer Gertrude Bell, alongside women who are currently achieving in different fields of activity, from sport to medicine.  The exhibition celebrates the many women whose lives and work have made a vital contribution to our region.  Some of them are famous names, others have been forgotten or have received little recognition.
IWNE is a collaborative project that would not have been possible without the support, skills and time of volunteers, and the generosity of sponsors.  Local engagement via social media and the press has been a crucial part of the project, and many women feature here as a result of public nomination.  You can nominate your inspirational women on their website www.iwne.org/, which also contains resources for schools.
 

Current Exhibition

Love from, Women
WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR YOU TO BE A WOMAN?
This exhibition from artist Holly Pines, who seeks to challenge traditional visual representations of women.  Holly encourages women to represent themselves as they choose, by submitting a photograph of themselves and telling the world what it means for them to be a woman.  The responses of ten different women are included in this exhibition.
