Description
Coalfaces is a poignant collection of photographs that capture the lives and landscapes of five small settlements in south Wales. Over ten years, Tina Carr and Annemarie Schöne worked with the residents to document their communities, resulting in a powerful and evocative portrayal of resilience and determination.
The photographs, both beautiful and gritty, convey the challenges faced by these communities after pit closures led to high levels of unemployment and severe adjustment problems. Despite adversity, the residents' hardy and feisty attitude shines through, making for a much-needed reminder of their stories.
