There have been some incredibly heartbreaking incidents in the UK recently and the world. These sad events stay in our memories, whether we experience them first hand or not. The memory of a war, destruction or an event can evolve, it can develop it can even transform itself throughout time, we each have our own perspective of a lived experience, or a shared experience.
Memories of destruction, war, conflict can of course be particularly traumatic. Art is a form of expression that can help with these memories, an aid and tool to deal with trauma, and yet as art helps keep alive a memory, a moment in history, it is for some who want to destroy elements of history, what they look for in their quest of destruction.
The evening's guest speakers were Professor Scott Redford and artist, photographer Hrair Sarkissian.
Hrair Sarkissian discussed his artwork in realtion to his childhood, memory, war, destruction and his artwork on the journey the refugees take and why he chose to depict these subjects.
Professor Scott Redford shared his expertise on the use of historic preservation in ongoing cold conflicts, peacebuilding and archeology, focusing on the use of historic preservation as 'confidence building' in ongoing cold conflicts.
