The Telegraph and Argus reports that, '
Hardy and Free, by Carolyn Mendelsohn, is now on display on the side of the Kirkgate Shopping Centre'.
An acclaimed photographer has said it is a “real privilege” to have her work displayed on the side of a Bradford shopping centre.
Hardy and Free, by Carolyn Mendelsohn, is now on display on the side of the Kirkgate Shopping Centre after the installation was officially launched last week.
It features 12 large images of Yorkshire women photographed in natural areas that have a special significance to them.
The installation – part of Bradford’s City of Culture year - will be on display until February.
After that the 1970s shopping centre will be demolished to make way for the new Bradford City Village development.
Among the images on display is a striking photo of Musician Youth Worker Kemmi Gill at Goit Stock waterfall in Harden, Journalist Aina J Khan at Harden Grange Folly, Farmer Rachel Coates at Lower Springs Farm in Baildon and campaigner Norah McWilliam pictured at Thornton Moor. [...]
Hardy and Free was originally commissioned by The Brontë Parsonage, and went on display at the home of the sisters.
The title comes from a line in Wuthering Heights.
It was expanded – in both the number of women and photos and the size of the images – for Bradford 2025. (Chris Young)
The Times has an article on the books that turned some famous names into readers.
Do you remember the first thrill of discovering you were a reader? The moment you were held totally captive by a story?
For me, it came quite late — at 11 — when my English teacher handed me a Penguin Classics edition of Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights. That was it, I was smitten. From that moment, I never stopped reading.
I’m always trying to recreate that wonderful, intimate, burrowing sensation I get with a book that transports me. It’s the feeling of doing something that is both safe and subversive. I say subversive because reading gives you access to people’s inner thoughts; to their secrets. It’s about lighting the way to hidden things. (Johanna Thomas-Corr)
Question 3 of 5
Out on the wily, windy moors
We'd roll and fall in green
You had a temper like my jealousy
Too hot, too greedy…
These lyrics from Kate Bush’s 1978 debut single are inspired by — and share a title with — which 19th-century English novel?
“Great Expectations,” by Charles Dickens
“The Professor,” by Charlotte Brontë
“Middlemarch,” by George Eliot
“Wuthering Heights,” by Emily Brontë
