Many Hands is Sunny Bank Mills Gallery’s first major group photography exhibition. Created in collaboration with Working Class Creatives, the show explores the role that industry plays in shaping community, identity and tradition. The exhibition weaves together stories of working-class people from the 70s to present, through the lens of a selection of UK based artists.
