Forgotten Force: Art & Memory

May 8, 2023 at 10:00 am - 5:00 pm

Forgotten Force was an oral history project by the Piłsudski Institute of London giving first-hand evidence of the past by audio and video recording stories of Polish women survivors of the Second World War who have been residing in the UK for the past seventy years. To help bring these stories to life the Institute invited a London based artist and art conservator, Zofia Wyszomirska-Noga, to interpret the assembled tales and translate them to image.

Ephemeral, monochromatic, charcoal drawings that define the distant memory of a dramatic journey. Marbled paper bursting with splashes of colour embedded in the background; droplets of the past reimagined through an artist’s compassionate eye. Mothers shielding their children, railway tracks, snowy landscapes and angels emerge from the work of Zofia Wyszomirska-Noga to find a way into our hearts and memories.

Temporary Exhibition Gallery.

Included in Museum Admission and Membership.
