The war to end all wars that wasn't. WW1. The supposed dawn of a peaceful age foreshadowed instead a century of repeated conflict; global migration; technology; memory; megalomaniacs; murderers; mercenaries and money makers.

In “Repeat After Me”, an exhibition held on the weekend marking the centenary of the Armistice, seven artists from diverse disciplines wrestle with what the fall out of The Great War has meant for our age.

On show are works including film, poetry, photography, painting and sculpture. Hard hitting pieces, like David Wood’s arresting Holocaust mini-film, contrast with the emotionally moving but silently still paintings of Susan Hamer. Maslen & Mehra + Shuby and Delete make a political comment about the beneficiaries of war. John See explores propaganda, while Susan Harbage Page from the US highlights issues of border control and human displacement. Andy Masheter carries the flag in the poetic tradition of the WW1 poets and Rachel Williams muses on conflict, megalomania and our little boy soldier Kim Jong Un.
