Emily Hobhouse沉浸式多媒体展览丨英国丨Kossmanndejong

在英国康沃尔郡，总部位于阿姆斯特丹的设计工作室Kossmanndejong策划了一场沉浸式多媒体展览，探索了一段独特的历史，展示了当时人们的抵抗和斗争。该展览讲述了发生在南非的第二次盎格鲁-布尔战争(1899 – 1902)和英国集中营的故事，重点展示了女权主义者Emily Hobhouse的激进主义。通过24间连续的视听室，游客可以沉浸在布尔战士、英国士兵和当地黑人的经历中。展览敏锐地捕捉到了战争失控的始末，在所有这些苦难中，Emily是少数几个专注于保护人类而不是破坏人类的伟人之一。

In Cornwall, England, the Amsterdam-based design studio Kossmanndejong has created an immersive, multimedia exhibition that explores the resistance and struggle of a unique historical event. The exhibition tells the story of the Second Anglo-Boer War (1899 – 1902) in South Africa and the British concentration camps, focusing on the activism of feminist Emily Hobhouse. Through twenty-four consecutive audiovisual rooms, visitors are immersed in the experiences of the Boer fighters, British soldiers, and the local black population. The exhibition captures how war spirals out of control. Amidst all this suffering, Emily stood apart as one of the few who focused on preserving humanity rather than contributing to its destruction.

对未来的永恒一课

A timeless lesson for the Future

Emily Hobhouse的故事告诉我们，即使在最黑暗的战争年代，具有强烈道德意识的人也能通过坚持同理心和人性等价值观来发挥和平的影响。这次展览强调了这些价值观在冲突时期的重要性，并说明了如果我们不从中吸取教训，历史必然会重演。它提醒我们，Emily的榜样作用是至关重要的，她是未来的有力指南。

Emily Hobhouse’s story shows that even in the darkest times of war, individuals with a strong moral consciousness can wield a peaceful influence by upholding values such as empathy and humanity. This exhibition emphasizes the crucial importance of these values during times of conflict and illustrates how history is bound to repeat itself if we fail to learn from them. It reminds us why it is vital to celebrate and share her example as a powerful guide for the future.
