This year marks the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. All over the country, we will remember combatants and communities. One of the war’s lesser-known aspects is that of displacement – over 60 million people were displaced in Europe alone, including many to Wales. This exhibition includes artwork, artefacts and migration stories of those displaced to Wales during the first half of the 20th century: of refugees, prisoners of war, and evacuees from elsewhere in Britain. It also features pieces from those who have arrived in Wales more recently due to conflict and war, including from Ukraine and Syria.
Please join us for the exhibition launch on 14 June at the Aberystwyth Arts Centre from 16.30-18.00 in Gallery 2 (16.30 to 17.00) and the Round Studio (17.00-18.00). The exhibition is located in Gallery 2 and will run until 26 October before moving to the Senedd Gallery, Cardiff, from 7 November to 22 January 2026.
The exhibition has been curated by the Centre for the Movement of People at Aberystwyth University.
