EXHIBITIONS

Our Lives, Our Community, Our Voice 
Exeter Picturehouse, Bartholomew Street West, Exeter
This diverse exhibition is part of the Our Lives, Our Community, Our Voice project which was a two-year community project in Exeter and used photography as a means of engagement and empowerment.  The project was managed by the Olive Tree Association/Devon Grapevine in partnership with Meridian Raw and has been funded by the People’s Health Trust. The exhibition features over 40 images, all captured by the participants working on the project.  The exhibition runs until 8 December. www.meridianraw.com

Home Front Fashions
RAMM, Queen Street, Exeter
The First World War was a time of momentous change for individual people, families and society, when thrift and economy in dress became increasingly important on the home front. Woollen serge and silk taffeta in dark or neutral colours were frequently worn as the availability of fabrics and dyestuffs was restricted. Practical, hard-wearing suits or ‘costumes’, and washable shirt-waister blouses became a kind of everyday uniform for women in Britain during the war. This display is part of RAMM’s four-year programme of exhibitions, displays, events and activities that focuses on the First World War’s impact on the people and landscape of the Southwest.  See the display until 8 May. www.rammuseum.org.uk
