Bøker av Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen

Over a seven year period Sirkka captured the essence of a rich working class culture on the eve of its destruction. This revised and extended edition of Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen's 1983 classic is a beautiful book of great significance both politically and photographically.

The Finnish photographer Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen came to Byker as a founder member of the Amber film and photography collective. Her photographs from the working class Tyneside terraced streets became an exhibition, book and film.
