Stepney Western: Newcastle Contemporary Art

Swing by Newcastle Contemporary Art this spring to catch their new exhibition Stepney Western.

An exhibition of two parts, it features screenings of locally-based artist and filmmaker Harry Lawson's new film Stepney Western - an experimental documentary made in collaboration with young inner city horse riders from Stepney Bank Stables that recasts Byker as the Wild West - and archival photography from the likes of Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen, Tish Murtha, Richard Blosse and Henri Cartier-Bresson.

The exhibition is also supplemented by a public programme of free events - a Stepney Western archive/Byker Phoenix launch, a Stepney Western printmaking workshop and a Stepney Western art trail.
