TBIH2025 IMAGINES | The Emily Hobhouse Museum & KossmanndeJong | The Story of Emily

Описание: Presentation of "The Story of Emily" project by The Emily Hobhouse Museum & KossmanndeJong, which won XR and IDA Awards in 2024.

The War Rooms at the Story of Emily, designed by Kossmanndejong, tells the story of the Second Anglo-Boer War (1899–1902) in South Africa and the British concentration camps, with a focus on the remarkable activism of feminist Emily Hobhouse. Through twenty-four consecutive audiovisual rooms, visitors are guided through the downward spiral of violence that consumed both leaders and ordinary people during this war. Amidst all the suffering, Emily stood apart as one of the few who focused on preserving humanity rather than contributing to its destruction.
