Welcome to our Exhibition
Art to make you think.
The exhibition is a showcase to explore the issues around climate change and pollution, to stimulate conversations across the generations. A poem, Yesterday, written by Yorkshire-based poet David Powley, was the inspiration for this exhibition. Jane Harding, a Ludlow-based artist, has created and developed the concept. The exhibition brings together works of art, film, creativity and conversations to explore what needs to be done today so that the younger generations have a future. Each work of art tells a unique story and invites you to explore the depths of artistic expression.
Yesterday
by David Powley
Yesterday, today
was still tomorrow.
How could we tell
that the new day
would bring such sorrow?
When all promises fade
and ill-judged debts
must be paid
before the final bell?
Time has a way
of warping overnight,
snuffing out the light
for those who borrow
and never pay
for what they sell.
For our children’s sake
let us not sleep
through the guilt,
but with them break
habit’s toxic hold,
so then the story may
tomorrow be told,
of how we built
a new today
yesterday.
A recording of Yesterday read by children of the next generation who will inherit our legacy.
The exhibition is a true celebration of art inspired by David’s thought-provoking poem. The paintings are not just visually stunning, but they also evoke deep emotions and leave a lasting impression. It's a must-visit for anyone who appreciates the power of art.
