Global Events: Suffolk Stories is the inaugural exhibition at The Hold, the flagship new heritage facility for Suffolk on Ipswich Waterfront.

This exhibition explores how the Suffolk community has responded to different international events throughout history. Focusing on the arrival of American service people during the ‘Friendly Invasion’ of WW2, the rising tensions and public messaging of the Cold War period, and the collective community response to COVID-19 during 2020.

Through original archival documents, photos, music, and film, visitors can explore the similarities and differences between these three global events, and understand how Suffolk has changed as a result.

Featuring x2 of Hannah’s' ‘Portraits for NHS Heroes’ oil pastel works and exhibits from the Creative Change Workshops #betweenspaces lockdown creations. All Visits must be booked in advance online.
