Flanders Poppies And The Evocative Power Of Simple Objects

Informações:

Synopsis

Flanders poppies have a special connection with World War One. Imagine the surprise art restoration expert, Professor Robyn Sloggett, got when she opened a letter from a soldier on the Western Front and out fell dried and pressed poppies from that battle field. On Open House she discussed the stories that are embodied in such simple objects and issues of culture, ownership and identity that arise in times of conflict.
