We will also have an official launch of Children of the Great War another Centenary commemoration project. The impact of War across UK had a profound effect on the lives of those who took part in the war effort and their families. War on
the Home Front is pleased to partner with Age Exchange to showcase their centenary commemoration project entitled Children of The Great War.
Children of The Great War' is an artwork that reveals how the stories of those who took part in the war, have affected the journeys their families have taken, to now and beyond. The artwork was commissioned by
Age Exchange as part of its Heritage Lottery funded project of the same name.
The launch of this event will be on
Saturday 7th March 1.30-3.00pm in the Transmitter Hall. The artists Ivan Riches and Simon Purin will introduce their work, the making process and its context within the wider ‘Children of The Great War’ project. Project participants will
also be present to answer questions.
