Following major events in London, Berlin, Paris and Birmingham, the Memories Carried international campaign and touring exhibition is comes to Globe Gallery in North Shields, raising funds for human rights and humanitarian charities working in Palestine.

Created by Iraqi photographer and filmmaker Yamam Nabeel, Memories Carried brings together over 20 international photographers and activists, including artists from Palestine, the wider Arab Region, across Latin America, the UK and Europe, all committed to raising funds for charities on the ground in Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) and Lebanon.

The exhibition series and campaign is a collaboration between Art Forward and Amnesty International UK, and has already raised thousands for vital causes, supporting Al Haq, Al Mezan, The Ghassan Abu Sittah Children’s Fund, and Health Workers for Palestine.

As Globe Gallery celebrates it’s 30th birthday and returns to its original home on Howard Street, its ongoing commitment to community engagement, dynamic artistic practices, and championing underrepresented voices make them the perfect partner to bring the Memories Carried project to the North-East.
