A brand new exhibition opening at The Others Hoxton housed in The Courtyard on December 5th 2008.
The Art of Trauma and Peace. 1978-2008 will draw together for the first time, 24 artists from 10 countries with works created between 78 and 08 to explore the trauma of loss in all its aspects and the transition to peace.

Oceans Apart by the varying artists, brings home the intensity of this process,
allowing all involved to better understand and appreciate the damage to the internal 'other', the absence, and confusion, that occurs in the traumatic experience, as well as the hopefully resulting reaction towards peace. Indirect, unaestheticised and dialogic in nature, 'the art of trauma and peace' .
