Sites of Collective Memory
Mon, 29 Sep 2014
You have until the end of the week to visit the Sites of Collective Memory exhibition at Phoenix. To quote:
"Sites of Collective Memory comprises four new animated works that offer intimate portraits of individuals, witnesses to historic events at places that resonate with individual and shared remembrance.
"Each work takes testimony as its starting point, reflecting on personal experiences of iconic and historic moments – the bombing of Hiroshima, the massacre of Polish Gypsies in WWII, and the 7/7 London bombings – and in contrast, the private experiences passed down through British Romani families. Through these works we may consider how representations of history and culture are shared in our collective consciousness."
I have put some pictures from the exhibition on my Flickr page.
