What happened when a leading photographer, Chris Clunn, was embedded with seven social science research teams investigating identity issues in contemporary UK?

Organised as part of the ESRC Festival of Social Science, the photographic exhibition at The Brick Lane Gallery, collects together images and stories from this unique collaboration between photographer Chris Clunn and research projects from the ESRC Identities and the Social Action Programme.

Identity is what makes us human and can be illustrated through our relationship with material objects and spaces often filling them with emotion. As well as reflecting on changing work identities and the dislocations and juxtapositions for new migrant labour in London the images explore:

Neighbourhoods and histories of segregation in Northern Ireland, Life on working class estates in Norwich, Everyday lives of Somali young people in Sheffield The transition involved for women as they become first-time mothers.
