[Un]Reliable Witness

4 - 21 July 2024
Gallery 46, London, UK

Inherited memory and intergenerational trauma are phenomena experienced by descendants of those having witnessed, suffered, or perpetrated extreme experiences; war, genocide, or abuse. In [Un]Reliable Witness, Dom Bouffard draws on his own experience as the child of an Algerian War refugee to give shape to this post-memory. In an immersive entanglement of sculpture, drawing, video, and interactive sound installation, Bouffard creates a space in which to connect and reflect, while confronting the volatile relationship between the personal and the political in an era of global conflict.

This exhibition has been generously funded by the British Arts Council and was accompanied by numerous events, all free to the public, expanding on our understanding of intergenerational trauma.
