"The project is all about exploring mining communities through the faces & the words of the people who are part of them": grateful to Chris Cordner for featuring the #ACESupported COAL FACE Exhibition in Sunderland Echo ahead of our 2 September opening: sunderlandecho.com/retro/pit-toke…

Full of butterflies ahead of today's preview of the #ACESupported COAL FACE Exhibition. Been entrusted with precious stories from lovely people & I hope my writing does them justice. I know Andy Martin's photography will! Redhills Durham Sunderland Culture The Cultural Spring UCL


Today our COAL FACE exhibition opens at Washington 'F' Pit, here's a preview of what we've been working on... 1: A portrait of Jenny Wells, miner's daughter & miner's wife. 2: Excerpt from a verbatim poem by Dr Louise Powell, using words woven together from Jenny’s interview.


As a working-class writer who grew up thinking museums weren't for people like me, I still can't believe that my verbatim poetry is on display at F-Pit Museum with Andy Martin's portraits til 28 Sept for the #ACESupported COAL FACE Exhibition. Very grateful to tell these stories.
