As part of this years’ To Absent Friends Festival The Mitchell Library will be displaying the Essence of a Memory exhibition.
All kinds of things evoke memories of people who've died, and many of them come with an interesting anecdote.
The 'To Absent Friends Essence of a Memory' competitions ran over 2014 – 2016. It challenged people to take a photo and write up to 50 words which together evoke a story or memory of a dead loved one.
This exhibition shows the winning images from 2014 and 2015. They will be displayed in The Mitchell Library as part of the To Absent Friends festival from 1st – 14th November 2024.
