I am organising Voices of Memory exhibition and the symposium at the Brunel Shed, part of Buckinghamshire New University (BNU) from the 11-21st of November 2025.
The exhibition is the continuation of Voices of Memory edition held in Prague as part of the Memory Studies Association annual conference. The extended project is initiated by the Centre for Enrichment of Culture and Identity at BNU.
The exhibition shows how the theme of memory permeates and is reflected in artistic practice. Through diverse means of expression, including photography, paintings, installations, film and video, the artists explore ways to deal with the legacy of an often difficult past. The exhibition brings together artists from different parts of the world who engage with personal or social memories in their projects, as well as with the memory inscribed in the natural environment. Their artistic practice touches on concepts such as remembering, inheritance, resilience, intersection between present and past, bodily experience or solidarity. The title of the exhibition evokes the different “voices” or perspectives of memory presented through various artworks and also the variety of media that can be used for their expression.
The exhibition presents works by Olga Bubich, Rosell Meseguer, Grace Schwindt, Michal Kindernay, Lisa Glybchenko, Franziska Windolf, Nela Milić, and Buckinghamshire New University academics Alexandra Murphy, Liana Psarologaki, Fil Ieropoulos, Cole Robertson, Tom McGorrian, Elisavet Kalpaxi and Anne-Marie Perks.
Designed by Isambard Brunel and built in 1854, the venue was the original train station and engine shed for High Wycombe.
Private view and the symposium with artists’ talks are on the 11th ofNovember 2025.
