Parr was also commissioned by Art Review to document the opening of Baltic back in 2002.

In 2009, much of this was captured in Baltic exhibition PARRWORLD. We were proud to present an expansive survey of Parr’s work alongside his personal collection of work by other photographers and curious popular culture memorabilia from Princess Diana plates to Barack Obama flip-flops.

A prolific, acclaimed, and celebrated photographer Martin Parr captured in glorious detail his surroundings for over 50 years. He uniquely and obsessively documented the quirks, colour, and intricacy of everyday life from Ladies Day horseraces to swimming pools and village fetes.

"This curriculum review affirms what we’ve long championed at Baltic: that every child deserves access to the arts, not just to enrich learning, but to unlock imagination, confidence, and critical thinking." - Amanda Rennison, Head of Learning at Baltic

At the review's heart lies a renewed commitment to creative subjects, putting creativity at the centre of every child's education. Learning & Participation has always been vital to our mission, engaging 183k children & young people annually. It's encouraging to see this reflected by our Government.
