An interview with Laura Fitton - Reportage Artist

This interview was filmed in October 2020 with artist Laura Fitton.
In February 2020, Laura commissioned by us to create an exhibition, which was due to run over summer, that represented life in South Tyneside through reportage drawing. Laura drew a series of images that were created on location in various places across the borough, working with a range of people to illustrate different local stories. However due to the coronavirus pandemic, the project was put on hold in mid-March.
Laura was able to do some further drawings over Zoom in October 2020 prior to entering the second lockdown.
