Sites of Collective Memory comprises four new animated works by artists Jordan Baseman, Shona Illingworth, Roz Mortimer & Delaine Le Bas and Damian James Le Bas. The exhibition offers intimate portraits of individuals, witnesses to historic events at places that resonate with individual and shared remembrance.

Taking testimony as its starting point, each work reflects 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.
