Jennifer Vanderpool: Bread and Roses – Welbeck’s Untold Stories
American artist Jennifer Vanderpool creates artworks which examine communities shaped by industry – and how they are impacted when that industry disappears. For her exhibition at the Harley Gallery, Vanderpool explores the history of coal mining at Welbeck and the impact on local communities following the closure of the mines.
