In these presentations, organisers of the exhibition will use interdisciplinary approaches to explore its central theme: the art and craft rehabilitation training of limbless soldiers from the Pavilion Hospital at Queen Mary Workshop and Brighton School of Art in the First World War

This is a free and open seminar, however booking is essential.
