Art as Remembrance, Rehabilitation and Reform
Wednesday 12 November 2025

The Arts Society - Gerrards Cross

Special Interest Day

The focus of the day is looking at three different ways in which the Arts can operate within societies.

In one lecture Angela presents how Germany has used the Arts in their unique post WW2 culture of apology and atonement.

During the second lecture Angela gives insights into the role the Arts play in prisons to address reoffending.

In a third lecture Angela looks at how the ‘empty chair’ has been employed by contemporary Artists to draw attention to political issues and events.

As with all our Special Interest days, registration will start at 10.00 with the first lecture at 10.30 and the last one finishing at 3.00. Lunch, wine and coffee will be provided. More details, including the cost, will follow but put the date in your diary
