Susie Dent: Word Perfect

A brand-new tour of the joys of the English language with Britain’s best-loved wordsmith.

Following her hit show The Secret Life of Words, Susie Dent is back with a brand-new collection of facts and stories from the wonderful world of words.

Have you ever wondered whether there’s a word for going to the fridge for the umpteenth time in search of something new?

And just how many words do we need for being drunk?

Akerman’s landmark second feature follows the meticulous daily routine of its titular lead.

Fragments: A Special Exhibition From The Sculpture Gallery

Fragments is a special exhibition of dance, sculpture and photography, running throughout March.

This exhibition is a unique multidisciplinary collaboration between Gallery artist Mandy Long, photographer Stephen Cole and dancers Pablo Reyero and Tony Polo.

Stephen worked with Pablo and Tony, photographing and filming them as they explored intimate movement, inspiring Mandy to capture their performance and physicality in her poetic raku figures.

Tish

Driven by a commitment to document the impact of deindustrialisation on working class communities in Northeast England in the 1970s and 1980s, Tish Murtha used her camera to expose societal inequality. She felt she had an obligation to the people and problems within her local environment, and that documentary photography could highlight and challenge the social disadvantages that she herself had suffered.

However, despite early acclaim for her work, she was unable to make a living from photography and died in poverty.

Watership Down
