Frequent Themes
NORTHERNESS
Lizzie was born in the North and has chosen to remain and celebrate their local culture, peoples and identity. Northerness is core to their work.
WORKING-CLASS CULTURE
Similar to themes of Northerness, Working-Class identity is baked into who Lizzie is due to their upbringing and Northern home. This is a culture worth our attention.
HISTORY AND HERITAGE
Lizzie almost focused their career entirly on on local history. Growning up, they were invested to finding the pieces that made the world what it is today.
