On Thursday 9 January, join us to hear local poets’ responses to the theme of ‘memory’, inspired by our current exhibitions. Hosted by guest poet, Antosh Wojcik. Come explore our exhibitions from 6pm before poetry readings begin at 7pm. Ashokkumar D Mistry and Sonia Boué’s Las Gemelas: Arrival (a lexicon of unmaking) explores the almost 4,000 refugee Basque children who arrived in Southampton in 1937, as a consequence of the Spanish Civil War. Meanwhile, Sarah Pierce’s Scene of the Myth asks what it means to gather, reflect, and act in community through film, installation and performance. Both exhibitions explore memory in all its guises: childhood experiences, memories within objects, ‘postmemory’, the memory of care, and the loss of memory. The artists invite us to consider which memories might be shared with us and which go unspoken. Guest Poet Antosh Wojcik is a poet, drummer and cross-disciplinary artist. He produces music as /weirdtoday and is a member of the collective FWRDMTN. His work explores memory, time & glitches. Information Source: John Hansard Gallery | eventbrite
