A Last Chance to Experience History Through Art
As the vibrant art exhibition Perspective(s) nears its end at the National Roman Legion Museum in Caerleon, there’s a sense of urgency among local art lovers. This exhibition, led by artist Hannan Jones, runs until July 31, offering a unique lens through which to examine the complexities of Welsh identity and history. Jones’ innovative work intricately weaves together cultural narratives that push against conventional understandings of the past.
Exploring Cultural Narratives
Supported by the Welsh Government and the Anti-racist Wales Action Plan, Perspective(s) features the contributions of seven diverse artists. Together, they delve into the often-overlooked connections between Wales and its histories of empire, migration, and resistance. This is much more than just an art display; it is a community engagement project that invites visitors to reflect critically on their own identities in relation to broader societal shifts.
Community Engagement: A Bridge to the Past
Central to the exhibition is Jones’ piece, A Frontier In Depth. This collection of ceramic vessels, created with materials sourced from the River Usk, symbolizes reflections on how time, territory, and migration shape our collective memory. These artworks serve as a conversation starter, encouraging visitors to contemplate their connections to the past and the implications for their future.
Witnessing History in Caerleon
The exhibition takes place not only within the museum but also at the historically significant Caerleon Amphitheatre, deepening its connection to local heritage. As Nigel Prince, Director of Artes Mundi, notes, the collaboration between artists and local communities has fostered a rich environment for dialogue and learning.
