Unsettled Lives: War and Displacement in Wales

Event Info

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. All over the country, we remember combatants and communities.

One of the war’s lesser-known aspects is that of displacement – over 60 million people were displaced in Europe alone, including many to Wales.

This exhibition includes artwork, artefacts and migration stories of those displaced to Wales during the first half of the 20th century: of refugees, prisoners of war, and evacuees from elsewhere in Britain.

It also features pieces from those who have arrived in Wales more recently due to conflict and war, including from Ukraine and Syria.

An exhibition by the Centre for the Movement of People at Aberystwyth University
