Henna Nadeem is a UK based photographer who was co-commissioned by the University and Autograph ABP in London, to undertake a research fellowship in Sunderland and the North East Region.

Henna became interested in sites which were associated with celebrity in some way through local stories and having researched a number of these stories she went to photograph at the sites, or what remain of them today.
