This October/November marks 10 years since NEPN, along with key partners and the region’s photographers, staged the north east’s first international festival of photography, The Social: Encountering Photography.
The festival presented the work of over 100 photographers in 32 exhibitions across Sunderland and the wider north east region.

We think that’s worth getting together to celebrate and socalise!

Enjoy a slideshow of works shown in the festival and some delicious food supplied by the awesome Sonny’s/Pop Recs team.
