Industrial Epic is a photographic exhibition that celebrates the monumental beauty and enduring resilience of industrial communities. Drawing on the iconic AmberSide Collection from Newcastle upon Tyne, Industrial Epic invites audiences to reflect on their connections to place, identity, and history. The exhibition centres on universal themes of pride, loss, and resilience, with dramatic, cinematic compositions of the industrial North East of England providing a lens through which visitors can explore these ideas. In Paisley, the imagery resonates deeply, evoking memories of the town’s industrial heyday, while inspiring reflection on its current regeneration.
Address: Refractive at the Liberal Club, 32 High Street, Paisley, PA12BZ
This exhibition is a part of the Season of Photography 2026 - a celebration of photography in Scotland running from 1 September – 20 December 2026
