Join us tomorrow at The Millennium Gallery, 6-7pm, for Evening Talk: Hidden, a special event to mark Holocaust Memorial Day (27 Jan 25).
Charles Fox will share his current project Hidden, exploring one family’s photography and journey during the Cambodian genocide. He will be joined by artist Dayanny So and Dr Mark Rawlinson from the University of Nottingham to discuss the absence of photography and shifting political powers of visualisation during the Khmer Rouge, and how we might represent the unseen.
Hidden is a result of a long-term dialog between photographer and researcher Charles Fox with one Cambodian family. The project and resulting book explore the journey that the family made through the Khmer Rouge (1975 – 1979) landscape carrying over 90 family photographs, concealed for safety. As part of the work, the family recreated their journey and wrote about their experiences during the Khmer Rouge. This writing forms a major part of the book, alongside concealed elements of the photographs in response to the absence of photography through shifting political complications. The book will be on display as part of the event.
Holocaust Memorial Day Trust remembers the six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust, alongside the millions of other people killed under Nazi persecution of other groups and during more recent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.
