KENNY MONROSE recommends a new exhibition that highlights the significance of Black British music
AS SUCCEEDING generations discover and seek to reclaim lost or hidden narratives, over recent years there has been a steady flow of Holocaust stories and Jewish family histories.
This is hardly surprising, given the extent and depth of the horror that the Nazi regime wrought. Yet continuous, though necessary, reminders of that dark period of history and over-repetition of similar accounts can blunt rather than sharpen our sensibilities.
But My name is Sara, the upcoming exhibition of photography and video by award-winning artist Sara Davidmann adopts a welcome new approach to the subject at the Four Corners gallery in east London.
