No Man’s Land offers rarely-seen female perspectives on the First World War, featuring images taken by women who worked as nurses, ambulance drivers, and official photographers, as well as contemporary artists inspired by the conflict.
Commemorating the First World War Centenary, No Man’s Land features photographs by three women of the epoch, alongside three women making work a century later.
Highlights include frontline images by nurses Mairi Chisholm and Florence Farmborough, some of which have photographs never been exhibited or
published; photographs by Olive Edis, the UK’s first female official war photographer; and new work by contemporary photographer and former
soldier Alison Baskerville.
This is the premiere of the nationally-touring exhibition before it travels to Bristol Cathedral, The Turnpike in Leigh, and Bishop
Auckland Town Hall.
No Man’s Land is curated by Dr. Pippa Oldfield and is a co-production by Impressions Gallery, The Turnpike, Bristol Cathedral, and Bishop Auckland Town Hall, supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
Events: Brunch with the Artists: Alison Baskerville, Dawn Cole, and Chloe Dewe Mathews in conversation with Dr. Pippa Oldfield.
