About
Amongst the cohort of Slade’s class of 1918, many had a keen interest in spiritualism and the occult. The context of WW1 appear to mark a particular turn to such practices as a means for those who lost loved ones to grieve and process the shock of the sudden end of lives and relationship brought on by the war.As the Prize & Prejudice exhibition highlights, that most of the artists whose work was recognized by the prize system that year are now unknown, their voices forgotten, we turn to spiritualism as a means to revive their voices and to imagine what they would tell us about their experience of these tumultuous times.
