What a year, what a decade. When Fontaines DC formed, in 2014, they had ambition but no certainty that it would come to anything. The past five years have changed everything: their four albums have invaded Europe and their live shows have continually showcased the strength of their musicianship and creative character.

Taking a leaf or two out of Bruce Springsteen’s heartland-rock playbook, the English singer and songwriter Sam Fender fuses his Tyneside background with a stirring, traditional rock-pop sensibility. His no-nonsense approach was formed by an unstable upbringing and teenage years playing open-mic nights at local pubs. Over the past six years his life has changed significantly, from signing to a major label, in 2018, to being ranked, in 2022, as one of the UK’s youngest music millionaires.
Through their work in photography and other lens-based media, nine established artists investigate the challenging connections between identity, gender, sexuality, social expectations and “existing ideas about what the body is or can be”. The exhibition also presents the artists’ work as an outline of contemporary photographic methods and the way technology has changed how we view dissimilar bodily experiences.
