Al Johnson will talk about creating her new sculpture,
‘The Lost Files’, currently exhibited at Bruce Castle Museum.
The sculpture explores the experience of the conscientious objectors: individuals who could not participate in World War One for moral, religious or political reasons. ‘The Lost Files’ focuses on the 350 conscientious objectors and their families
who lived in Haringey, and the exhibition is part of
Conscientious Objection Remembered,
a series of events developed by the Haringey First World War Peace Forum.
Exhibition Opening times:
Saturday 5 May to

Our next free talk is on Wednesday 6 June at 2pm when David Swift will speak on The war and the workers: the labour movement and the home front during WW1.
"The First World War brought with it many trials for the working men and women of Great Britain: from food prices to rent increases, disability and bereavement, the war exacerbated existing difficulties and created fresh challenges. Nonetheless the labour movement, under the auspices of the Workers' National Committee, came together to try and protect the position of the working class, and fought to ensure that the country which emerged in 1918 was different from that of 1914. This talk will reveal how the Left put sectionalism aside and was able, against the odds, to win important victories for the workers of Britain."
