As part of our dedication to showcasing our collection in the communities that helped us create it, we're proud to be showcasing Shields Stories, 1988, at North Sheilds Library, this October 18th.

Developed during Amber’s five-year residency in North Shields, Shields Stories is a series of ten short drama films, each around ten minutes long, produced in 1988. The stories reflect the lived experiences of communities dealing with the impact of economic change, including cuts to public services, long-term unemployment and social disconnection.

The series is screening on a loop throughout the day between 9.30am - 5.30pm, no tickets or booking necessary, just drop by and take a seat!
