All are welcome to attend the exhibition launch evening – Thursday 31 January 6pm.

The curator of the exhibition, Nicola Ashmore, will also give an illustrated talk on Wednesday 13 March at 2pm that explores Guernica and its remakings as a call to action, pushing back at those in power who choose to act to the detriment of civilians.
