A Place of Memory is an indoor and outdoor sculpture exhibition, a new imagining of our annual Exposed Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition.
This year's theme was inspired by questions of public representation and how cultures and countries choose to define their past through monuments, memorials, and sculptural objects. Through their work, artists in this exhibition reclaim their own ancestral stories, asking the viewer to rethink how we present history, and therefore, our present and future values.
