‘Slow Looking Saturday’ - De-commemoration

Submitted by houseeuropeanhistory on Wed, 07/16/2025 - 12:17

Every first Saturday of the month at 14:30, come and delve into a topic of the exhibition through specific photographs for an hour. A facilitator will accompany you and the group to look at a photograph at a different pace and take the time to reflect on it. Collectively the sessions will cover all the rooms in the exhibition, through the slow looking practice and learning of historical facts based on the group’s observations and reflections.
