Somewhere To Stay, Diana Forster
A story of forced displacement
Somewhere To Stay is an exhibition of artworks by Diana Forster, which explores a story of forced migration through installation, sculpture and print.
This exhibition by Diana Forster, explores a story of forced migration through installation, sculpture and print. It depicts the extraordinary journey and different kinds of shelter endured by Polish deportees and the huge contribution Polish exiles have made in the decades since WWII to the communities where they settled. The laser-cut images of the story panels were influenced by the traditional Polish craft of paper cutting (wycinanki) and the cast shadows that add another dimension to the artwork, suggest the idea of the ‘long shadow of war’. Access Free Tues - Sat.
