Exhibition exploring facets of life lands at the D.H. Lawrence Birthplace Museum
Inspired in part by D.H. Lawrence’s poetry and literary oeuvre, the exhibition explores a broad range of themes and covers varying degrees of optimism and what it means to be or not be through photography and poetry across its key themes of love, (dis)trust, memory, nostalgia, sensuality, migration, inheritance, fracture, healing, and unfinished becoming.
Reflecting the ever-changing nature of life itself, the exhibition will shed some of its original installations after four weeks to be replaced with others – the installations then becoming available for sale at the museum as one-of-a-kind pieces alongside poetry books.
Music will form part of the exhibition too, completing an immersive experience for viewers.
Exhibition curator, Su’ur Agema, said, “I am excited by the range of voices and creative forms coming together in this exhibition, and by the possibilities that emerge when various art forms are placed in conversation with each other. We hope the exhibition will inspire reflection, spark new ideas, and create space for meaningful conversations, collaborations, and friendships across cultures and communities.”
Museum and Collections Officer, Carolyn Melbourne, said, “The Gallery Space at the museum continues to expand the museum’s partnerships. I’m very excited that it can now platform work by this collective of creatives, for what will be a very meaningful exhibition.”
The exhibition is available to view for free until Sunday 13 September in the D.H. Lawrence Birthplace Museum’s gallery during opening hours, Thursday – Saturday, 10:00am – 4:00pm.
The D.H. Lawrence Birthplace Museum is where the literary legend was born on 11 September 1885. Only 30 minutes from Nottingham city centre, the museum is a must see for fans of literature, and for those wanting to delve deeper into Nottingham’s literary heritage.
Step back in time to experience the traditional Victorian wash house, see the parlour; a room only for special guests, and have a wander around the parental and other bedrooms. The museum’s permanent exhibition features items from Lawrence’s family and even paintings created by the author himself.
