September 2024

September’s issue of Nottingham’s LeftLion has just been published, and with it the first of a series of photographs taken over the summer at Nottingham War Rooms, the Grade II, decommissioned nuclear bunker on the outskirts of the city. Make sure to pick up your copy today and turn to pages 24/25 to read the interview which editor Sophie Gargett conducted with Martine and Cold War historian Prof Daniel Cordle.

There will be a chance to learn more about this fascinating period of twentieth century history later this month when Nottingham’s Broadway Cinema screens the BBC’s grim film Threads on its 40th anniversary – 23.09.24. More of Martine’s 76no. images will be on show in the Mezz Bar that evening too, so get your tickets swiftly. The project is also due to feature in The Modernist Magazine later in the autumn.

Thanks to Craig Cameron of Hamilton Russell, Parmi Uppal of Homes England, CPMG Architects and the The School of Art & Design at Nottingham Trent University who have supported this project.
