Saturday Spotlight: People in Objects - First World War Trench Art

Dr Nicholas Saunders (University of Bristol) specialises in conflict archaeology and social anthropology. His interest in the cultural memory of 20th-century conflict begins with WW1 'trench art'. This talk examines how these 3D objects embody the different experience of war for makers and consumers. Dr Saunders' archaeological investigations, collecting and research have led to collaborations with the Pitt Rivers Museum, the Imperial War Museum, Flanders Fields Museum (Belgium) and Historial de la Grande Guerre (France).
