Event details
The coal industry, once a main employer in the East Midlands, has a long and proud association with the arts and this travelling exhibition aims to deal with the contested memories of coal mining in the region through a selection of iconic photographs.
Funded by the Global Heritage Research Fund at Nottingham Trent University, it aims to cover different important aspects of coal mining in the region during a time of rapid change. These include coal communities, the role of women in coal mining, the impact of closures and rationalisation, strikes and industrial action and legacies of the industry in today’s society.
By the end of the tour, it will have visited Mansfield Museum, Chesterfield Museum, Harworth County Council, the National Coal Mining Museum for England and Conkers Discovery Centre.
Speakers will also present papers about the exhibition and how it has been received at all the locations it has visited.
