Winner of FORMAT2021 Shutter Hub portfolio award, Wales-based photographer and artist Anna Sellen launches virtual multimedia exhibition ‘Drip by drip, we are fed with concrete’ at CULTVR Portal in May 2022.

‘Drip by drip, we are fed with concrete’ (2020 - 2022) by Anna Sellen can now be accessed via CULTVR Portal: https://www.cultvr.cymru/catalyst-360o-anna-sellen/

Anna questions the Cold War legacy through the physical space of the bunker and her family archive. She uses photography, oral history, archives and diaries to examine her own and her family’s lived experiences in the Soviet Union between 1952 and 1986. She is interested in the impact of the political decisions, state-driven silencing and misinformation on people’s lives and identities, from one generation to the next, and what this means in today’s world.

Artist Anna Sellen says “This exhibition consolidates my work produced over the last two years. These stories from the past offer poignant lessons to us now, they are urgent and current, they speak directly to the anxieties and challenges of our world today.”
