More Information
In partnership with ArtHouse Jersey, this fascinating talk will explore how art and literature can serve as an alternative means of understanding, recalling, healing and uncovering the truth. As we mark the 80th anniversary of Liberation this year, the collective human experiences of war, loss and remembrance, as depicted in Bałka’s body of work, resonate deeply.
His art is deeply rooted in themes of memory, history and human fragility, and confronts the scars of past traumas and their enduring effects. His notable works include ‘How It Is’ [2009, Tate Modern in London], ‘Heimkehr’ (Homecoming) [2013, Freud Museum in London], and ‘AUSCHWITZWIELICZKA’ [2010, MOCAK in Krakow].
