You’re invited to the Our Freedom: Then and Now Exhibition and Comic Book Launch at Barrow Library on Saturday 8 November.

The exhibition will include a heritage display developed in partnership with Cumbria Archives and Barrow Archive Centre and their volunteers, showing archive material including photographs, diaries, letters and drawings that depict Barrow during WW2 and VE and VJ Day.

Comic-book artist, author and illustrator Lyndon White will be creating a unique 24-page comic inspired by amazing stories and heartfelt memories from the Barrow community. This free and interactive event will showcase Lyndon’s comic-art book and will include a live draw-along jam and poetry performance. There will also be a display of young people’s artworks and blackout poems that have been created during creative engagement workshops.

See Barrow Library transformed into a space of shared memory and imagination, where stories of freedom – past and present – come to life.
