The exhibition 'Close to Home' at Baltic in Gateshead presents the works of Tish Murtha and Kuba Ryniewicz, showcasing their differing perspectives on happiness in the context of northeast England.
Murtha's 'Youth Unemployment' series, captured in Newcastle, addresses the challenges faced by young people in a region affected by economic decline and pit closures.
Ryniewicz's contributions contrast with Murtha's, providing a broader view of personal connections amid regional struggles, ultimately reflecting the complexities of community life.
