Upton House, Banbury

Threads Through Time

A collection of memory works by artist Lis Mann that tell of her experience as a Jewish refugee child from Nazi-occupied Austria. Mann uses textiles combined with other materials to create visual stories that are too fragmented or painful for words. Her works echo other refugee stories, past and present, and suggest wider questions about exile and belonging today. Visitors to Upton House will also see displays about the former owner, Walter Samuel 2nd Viscount Bearsted, who along with other prominent Anglo-Jews, played a leading role in efforts to rescue Jewish refugees from Nazi persecution. Hosted in association with B’nai B’rith UK.
