Fields of Battle, Lands of Memory: An Evening with Michael St Maur Sheil
Thursday, May 30 | Reception 5:30 p.m. | Program 6:30 p.m.
Auditorium and Online
Sharing the story of how war and terrain shape each other requires a photographer that is both an artist and a historian. In his digital exhibition Lands of Battle, Images of Peace, Michael St Maur Sheil bridges the gulf between remembrance and history, offering a unique lens on the path that nations and their lands take from war to peace. Join us for a reception celebrating Sheil’s evocative work, followed by a lecture exploring the lasting impact of WWI in Europe, Africa and Asia – across the fields, mountains, shores and towns where some of the fiercest fighting took place – through photographs.
Reception 5:30 p.m.
