St. Cuthbert’s Final Journey
For more visit www.stcuthbertsfinaljourney.com7 days ago we started our journey retracing St. Cuthbert’s final journey. We’re following the route taken by the 9th century monks as they flee from invading vikings with the body of St Cuthbert and the Lindisfarne Gospels. Catch up and follow our blog here.
and so it begins.
Over the next few weeks I’ll be travelling over 1200 miles with author Richard W Hardwick, as we retrace St. Cuthbert’s last journey. I’ll be posting a few things here and there is also a blog which Richard is writing www.stcuthbertsfinaljourney.com
The work will be exhibited in Durham this summer as part of The Festival of The Gospels, with subsequent tour of the North of England.

Photographer Talk: Mark Power
Friday 26 April 2013, 6.30-8.00pm
The Mining Institute
Newcastle Upon Tyne
Photographer Mark Power will be coming to the NEPN to discuss recent projects, challenges in documentary practice and being a Magnum photographer. The talk will start at 6.30pm in the Mining Institute’s Lecture Theatre and will be followed by refreshments in the Library.
As a child Mark Power discovered his father’s home-made enlarger in the family attic, a contraption consisting of an upturned flowerpot, a domestic lightbulb and a simple camera lens. His interest in photography probably began at this moment, although he later chose to do illustration – specialising in life drawing and painting - instead. He (somewhat accidentally) ‘became a photographer’ in 1983, working in the editorial and charity markets for nearly ten years, before he began teaching in 1992. This coincided with a shift towards long-term, self initiated projects which now sit comfortably alongside a number of large-scale commissions in the industrial sector.
Power’s work has been seen in numerous solo and group exhibitions across the world and is in several public and private collections. He has published six books: ‘The Shipping Forecast’ (1996), ‘Superstructure’ (2000), ‘The Treasury Project’ (2002), ‘26 Different Endings’ (2007), ‘The Sound of Two Songs’ (2010) and ‘Mass’ (2013).
Mark Power joined Magnum Photos in 2002.
The event is free to all but booking is requested HERE

Ken Loach - Which Side Are You On (1984)
Heartbreaking, heartfelt, and at times brutal documentary about the miners strike in England, featuring footage from my home town Easington Colliery. 1984, unknown to me at the time, was to become the year of my social and political awakening. I grew up in Easington and walked past these lines of police and pickets every day on my way to school. I shouted and threw stones at the buses carrying the ‘Scabs’ (strike-breakers), not quite fully aware of the situation. The events I witnessed that year will never be forgotten, and Margaret Thatcher will not be mourned.
The Miner and the Copper
It is one of the abiding images of the 1984 coal strike - Guardian photographer Don McPhee’s picture of a picketing miner facing up to an officer. But what happened to the two protagonists?
