Hatton Gallery –
Newcastle University’s Hatton Gallery was founded in 1925 and named in honour of Professor Richard George Hatton. He subsequently became Head of the Fine Art Department at Newcastle University. In October 2017, to create a modern exhibition space, the gallery underwent a £3.8 million redevelopment, conserving the historical and architectural elements of the Grade II listed building. Today, The Hatton’s programme features modern and contemporary art exhibitions, and events include artist and curator talks.

Shown together for the first time, the gallery and cinema will showcase her acclaimed projects: Blood Speaks: A Ritual Of Exile, Centralia and To Conquer Her Land; which engage with issues of gender, caste and class to expose both the marginalisation and the strength of women and indigenous communities in South Asia.
