Conflicts of Interest
at The National Army Museum
Opens Saturday 12 September 2009
You can see a small selection of my work at the NAM
From Northern Ireland and the Falklands to Afghanistan and Iraq, Conflicts of Interest explores over three decades of conflict, examining the role of the British Army across the globe and the impact on service personnel’s home life.
This major new exhibition focuses on key international conflicts as well as debating domestic issues relating to the modern military. The exhibition includes personal accounts from servicemen and women and civilians, alongside exclusive images and objects from the Museum’s collections.
The exhibition sheds light on the intensity of the recent fighting in Afghanistan and the British Army’s long history in the region. Using contemporary and historic images, first-hand accounts and news footage of the war the reasons for the current deployment and its possible outcome are explored. Objects on display will include chemical warfare kit and a painting by war artist John Keane, highlighting the threats faced by forces during the Gulf War of 1990-1991, as well as a portrait of Saddam Hussein from Basra airport.
