Traces of War brings together artists Jananne Al-Ani, Baptist Coelho and Shaun Gladwell to explore the relationship between war and the everyday, locating it in spaces where it would be least expected.

Working primarily with photography, film and multi-media installations, all three artists have direct experience of conflict and war, from Iraq to India, Bangladesh to Afghanistan and then ‘back home’, where the traces of war are revealed again, as if there is no such thing as leaving war behind.
