River to Freedom used the long history of the River Tyne as a starting point to explore ideas of freedom, resulting in collaborative creative work made by local and library community groups, supported by artists and shaped by the artforms that emerged through the process.

Johannah Churchill

Johannah’s photographic work focuses on telling stories about people’s lives shaped by the connection to ourselves and to each other. Moving between portraiture and documentary, her practice is characterised by an emotional exploration of what it is to be human. Her central concerns are people, wellbeing, connection and belonging, continually drawing from her own life and experiences working in healthcare.
