Exhibition, Orial Bach Gallery - Photos

Abstract

These photos record the exhibition at the Orial Bach Gallery which formed part of the finale events (30 September - 1 October 2011, Swansea) of the AHRC-funded 'Future Memory in Place' project. Two items exist, one containing high and the other of normal resolution photos (a link to the other is provided above). This project united visual art and ancient history through contemporary landscape painting and research on migration in the ancient world, archaeology, manuscripts, objects, journeys, uncharted maps and music. It was enacted through school workshops and community gatherings around Swansea, and gave over 2,500 school pupils the opportunity to learn about how people relate to the place where they live or have lived, and how memories and the experience of migration can be expressed in art.
