About
Craig Easton: Is Anybody Listening? is a touring exhibition from The University of Salford, which showcases two award-winning series of photographs, Bank Top and Thatcher's Children, and challenges typical stereotypes of northern communities through authentic representation.
Craig Easton won Photographer of the Year (2021) at the Sony World Photography Awards with his series Bank Top, a collaboration with writer, poet and social researcher Abdul Aziz Hafiz, examining the representation and misrepresentation of northern communities. The work focused on a small, tight-knit community in Blackburn.
Craig Easton also took second place in the documentary category for Thatcher’s Children, which explores the intergenerational nature of poverty and economic hardship as experienced by three generations of one family in Blackpool.
