Internationally acclaimed installation artist/photographer Shimon Attie was approached to create an artwork commemorating the 40th anniversary of the Aberfan disaster. His artistic work is built around memory, place, and in particular working with communities and their collective memories. Having spent time in the village with survivors and bereaved parents, Shimon Attie has created artwork that reflects the hopes and aspirations of the people of Aberfan. His work does not focus solely upon the tragedy of the past but looks towards the future. The book also features poetry from Gwyneth Lewis and Christopher Meredith and a foreword by John Humphrys.
