From 2010 – 2014, Multistory produced ‘Black Country Stories’, an extensive photographic portrait and archive about life in the Black Country, with Martin Parr. The archive is complemented with films and oral histories.

The commissions run from anything between 18 months to four years, with the objective to make work with and for a local audience, whilst reaching a wider national audience.
