Chris Killip's continued efforts to value and document the lives of those affected by the economic shifts in the North of England, throughout the 1970s and 80s, have made him one of the most influential figures of British Photography.
This retrospective exhibition, curated by Tracy Marshall Grant and Ken Grant, of more than 140 works, serves as the most comprehensive survey of the photographer's work to date and includes previously unseen ephemera and colour works.
This tour will look at highlights across both floors of the exhibition with an opportunity for questions.
