Opening up an extraordinary documentary narrative, For Ever Amber at the Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, is the first major account of the AmberSide Collection started by a group of like-minded students at Regent Street Polytechnic in London in 1968. With a resolve to collect documents of working class culture, Amber Collective moved to the North East of England the following year in 1969 and in 1977 set up Side Gallery where it remains today.
