EALING Autumn Festival’s Truth and Reconciliation exhibition will move to Acton this Saturday after its first month in Ealing Broadway.

The Hanwell-based 4020 Art Group originally held the exhibition, based on Truth and Reconciliation with references to Shakespeare, at Ealing Central Library but will now move to Acton Library.

An open day has been organised for Saturday May 14, between 2-4pm, where visitors can discover more about Shakespeare, take part in a public collage of the exhibition and, if under 25, sign up for an Arts Award.

Festival artistic director Gillian Spragg said:  “We had a wonderful day at Ealing Central Library launching the new exhibition and now look forward to it embarking on its tour around the borough.

“The paintings and collage are really remarkable works of arts.

“The more you look at them, the more you realise that they are equal to the visual art you will see in many famous galleries in central London.

“Our very grateful thanks go to Naomi Healy, Maggie Le Rougetel, Sam Rough, Helen Tyler and to our young artist, Batrisyie Hussain.

 “The major part of the launch day was spent creating a public collage to show Truth and Reconciliation and Shakespeare.

“Councillor Jon Ball was a very welcome guest who took part placing the letter H in the word Truth.

“We also launched a borough wide project to bring Arts Award more broadly to Ealing.

“This is a national accreditation for the artistic activities that young people and children undertake.”

The artwork will be on display at Acton Library until May 26 but will then continue to tour libraries across the borough.

The exhibition is being held in collaboration with Ealing Libraries and CCS (Cultural Community Solutions) with full details at www.ealingautumnfestival.co.uk.
