Hello!

ONCA has an exciting exhibition coming soon.

Artist Jaye Ho has made a new series of paintings called ‘The Vanishing Act’ which explores war crimes and in particular women who were subject to sexual violence in Japanese occupied countries during World World 2.

Jaye Ho paints victims and their remains, survivors and perpetrators.

She censors/protects/condemns these images with a mask of prisms, geometric shapes or pixels.

As well as being an artist Jaye Ho also works for the UK Foreign Office on human rights.

The paintings will be available to view online on ONCA’s website www.onca.org.uk between 6th October & 22nd November.

Some of the paintings will also be on display in ONCA’s gallery window and viewable from the street outside.

The exhibition will be in two parts, changing half way through so that different paintings will be displayed in the window, but all of the works will be online.

There will also be a video tour on the website which will have In Vision interpretation.

On Saturday 7th November at 2pm there will be an online ‘Meet the Artist’ event which will be BSL interpreted.

Tickets are free and can be booked on the ONCA website.
