Shirley Baker. Pavement Cracks

View through Artsy
Taking its name from a recurring motif in Lemn Sissay’s poem Flag, this exhibition presents unseen street photographs by Shirley Baker made in and around Manchester. In each case, the artist links the fabric of the city to memory and emotion and embeds the subject in the life of the street. Sissay’s words are literally set into the streets of northern Manchester, whilst Baker’s viewpoints frequently draw attention to the pavements and streets as places of play and drama.
