New Exhibition: "Culture Under Attack"

Normally I don't like war museums but the Imperial War Museum in London will be hosting a meaningful exhibition from July 5th 2019 till January 5th 2020. The main theme of the exhibition is "Culture Under Attack" and it will consist of 3 parts, "What Remains", "Art In Exile" and "Rebel Sounds". I am sure all three will be very interesting to see but especially one, "Rebel Sounds", should be really impressive. Here is the link to the museum.

Culture Under Attack

The new exhibition will try to explore how music is being used to resist during times of war and oppression.

Rebel Sounds

The "Rebel Sounds" exhibition covers four difficult periods of the 20th century; starting from the Nazi Germany of the 1930s, jumping to Northern Ireland of the 1970s, and from there to 1990s to the Balkans. The last stop is today's Mali.

If you are in London during this summer it might be a good idea to pay a visit to this event to witness the exhibitions, live performances and lectures about how culture, art and music shaped the societies during wartime...

Here is a band in exile from Mali whose only crime is "making music"...
