WHAT DOES PRIDE MEAN TO YOU?

Is it that sense of satisfaction from a job well done, a celebration of a child or loved one who has reached a goal or recognition of an achievement by a friend or colleague?

For the LGBTQ+ community pride has an additional meaning - it is synonymous with promoting their identity, their culture, their experiences and their history.

Pride manifests itself in many ways and we invited the communities of Sunderland, South Tyneside and Gateshead to share their stories and personal experiences of what makes them proud.

Emerald 55 is a unique exhibition of love, respect and pride.
