Film and exhibition viewing
The short film dis-placed by Helen Henderson forms part of our temporary exhibition “The Town Swarmed with Culture.” Join Helen and local historian Alison Bailey to see the exhibition, watch the film on a large screen, and find out more about Helen’s family history both in Russia and Buckinghamshire, and how it has provided inspiration for her creative work.
This special evening opening will explore the exhibition themes: the wide-ranging émigré community who made this area their home; a special focus on Czechoslovak sculptor Mary Duras, whose bust of Helen’s mother, Irina Motchaloff is featured in the exhibition; and the backdrop of trauma and tragedy against which these refugees brought new creative energy to the area.
