An evening of discussion on the truths, the myths and the spaces in between northern identity as we know it.

Join co-curators Lou Stoppard and Adam Murray as they share the inner workings of their investigations, artist relations and considered complications in showcasing ‘The North’.

A conversation introduced by Somerset House and chaired by Sarah Fisher, Executive Director of Open Eye, the Liverpool based Gallery who originally exhibited the show.
