A new exhibition exploring how a city has changed over time has coincided with an open call for young photographers.
Under Development: What Happens When Cities Change? has opened at Newcastle Contemporary Art gallery, featuring images which span more than 50 years from the AmberSide Collection.
Running alongside the exhibition, submissions have opened for Newcastle Now, which has asked photographers under 25 to capture their changing surroundings.
Creative director of AmberSide, Ellen Stone, said she hoped the archive would be a “stronger resource” following the exhibition.
The exhibition also features photographs from Four Corners Archive based in Tower Hamlets in London.
AmberSide said as both areas grew through river trade and industry, both saw large areas of working-class housing cleared and rebuilt and were hit hard by the loss of industries that had shaped them.
Stone said the exhibition was particularly important today, as both areas were once again going through a period of regeneration.
