For this event, we will be allowing exclusive access to the collection and providing you with a unique opportunity to see some of the original material. This free, drop-in event is a rare and exciting opportunity to view works from Jersey Heritage’s Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore collection, which is ordinarily closed to the public for preservation. Cahun and Moore created some of the most startlingly original and enigmatic photographic images of the 20th century. Prefiguring by over 70 years many of the concerns explored by contemporary artists today, the importance of their work has been recognised worldwide. The Jersey Heritage collection represents the largest repository of the artistic work of Cahun, who moved to Jersey in 1937 with stepsister and lover Moore, was imprisoned for resistance activities during the Occupation, and remained here after the Second World War until their death in 1954.
