Recovering the Past Art Exhibition

The exhibition is a timely photographic exhibition which documents the physical and psychological consequences of the Great War.  It comprises a series of 25 thought provoking images accompanied with poignant quotes sourced from Australia’s archives.  The exhibition lays bare the plight of Australia’s war widows, grieving mothers and traumatised returning soldiers.  Also documented is the Belgian army’s ongoing collection of the lethal legacy of unexplored ordinance from the Great War, routinely unearthed in Belgium’s fields, construction sites and backyards to this day.
