IMAGINE EXHIBITION at Charnwood Museum, Queens Park, Loughborough
From the Holocaust of World War II to the more recent genocides of Darfur these events are something that touch all of us in some way. Charnwood Arts is working in local schools to create the first stages of an interactive exhibition exploring the value and celebration of human life and what that means to us today as part of our past, present and future. The future is in our hands; what will we do with it? This unique exhibition will begin in January and continue to evolve as people engage with it both in workshops and through their own contributions in words and pictures.
The museum is open from 10 till 4:30 Monday to Saturday and 1 till 4 on Sundays.
