Sites Of Collective Memory

An exhibition of four new animated artworks each offering intimate portraits of witnesses to historic events – 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.

Each work takes the witnesses’ testimony as its starting point, reflecting on personal experiences of iconic and historic moments at places that resonate with individual and shared remembrance. The artists are: Jordan Baseman, Shona Illingworth, Delaine Le Bas and Damian James Le Bas, and Roz Mortimer.
