Green House Affect
This series of photographs was taken as part of the slow research project Essaying the Gare, created in collaboration with Dr Jez Coram. Alongside various forms of listening, recording and essaying, these images chart the changing landscape of South Gare in Teeside. Once home to a giant steel works and thriving industries, the area is now undergoing a period of liminality and transition. The researchers aim to document this process using experimental time-based media, and to talk to the people and communities living through this change.
Listening Project
Get in touch if you’d like to talk to us about the South Gare.
We are researchers from the University of Leeds and we are running a listening project on the South Gare. We’d like to hear what you think about the past, present and future of this unique landscape.
Our slow research project explores this area’s hidden narratives, and the impacts of climate change and de/reindustrialization on the coastal peninsula. We are exploring the South Gare over a period of several years, mapping these contours of change, and this listening exercise is the first stage.
We’d really like to hear your views on the South Gare. If you have stories, images, or objects relating to the South Gare or if you are one of the many communities that visits or worked there please get in touch. We would like our research to support the communities, work, initiatives and programmes that already exist on the South Gare. We’d love to hear from you.
