Join us for a unique opportunity to hear directly from the four local artists whose work fills the gallery as part of Structures & Memory (a place called Wurzach).
Composer Emily de Gruchy, documentary photographer Shan O’Donnell, sculptural and performance artists Oliver Le Gresley and Nicole Sheppard will talk through their work and processes, and discuss some of the archival materials collected by the families of deportees to Bad Wurzach during the war which inspired them.
The exhibition itself begins with the memories and experiences of the Jersey deportees who were sent to a prison camp in a small town called Wurzach (now Bad Wurzach) in southern Germany during World War II. It zooms out to reflect on wider contemporary global contexts that explore stories and experiences of displacement and enduring legacies of conflict, occupation and reconciliation, both from Jersey and internationally.
Join us for a unique opportunity to hear directly from the four local artists whose work fills the gallery as part of Structures & Memory (a place called Wurzach) is presented in association with the St Helier Bad Wurzach Partnerschaft as part of Liberation 80.
This is a free event.
