Bombed - A Trilogy a combined-Arts Exhibition

More than 70 years after the end of the Second World War, countries around the world continue to live under the shadow of bombing, and the current conflict in Ukraine has reignited old tensions across Europe. ‘Bombed: A Trilogy’ 11-21 November 2023 is a combined-arts exhibition of new and retrospective works. Through painting, dance, music and poetry, the work confronts issues of bombing, war and conflict resolution, exploring the World War II Blitzes of Coventry, Dresden and Birmingham and their relationship with current events. The Trilogy includes 'Bombed - A Moonlight Sonata I (2011) and Il (2019)' and ‘Bombed - Full Circle (2022)', and premiered at the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum, Coventry November 2022.
