About the art installation: The Falklands Tribute by Standing With Giants
The Falklands Tribute represents 255 silhouetted life-size figures of Seafarers, Royal Marines, Army, and Airmen and 3 civilians who lost their lives during the 1982 war on The Falkland Islands with Argentina.
This and an identical display created which is currently in the Falkland Islands, were created to commemorate the 40th anniversary of liberation on June 14th, 2022, and have been seen on display at Thoresby Park, International Bomber Command and Royal armouries Fort Nelson.
These figures will be on display in and around the Fort’s Parade Ground, for visitors to walk amongst and reflect in remembrance.
About Standing With Giants
Standing With Giants create large-scale remembrance art installations using recycled building materials and provide meaningful spaces for people to visit and reflect. Their ethos is to value life; to understand and appreciate why we have our freedom, and to remember and pay tribute to those who have fallen so we can live with the freedom we have today.
Standing With Giants is a charity, founded and led by Oxfordshire community artist Dan Barton.
Dan Barton, said:
“Standing With Giants have been overwhelmed by the amazing reactions from Veterans and families of the fallen who visit the installations and share their heartfelt stories with us.”
Co-General Manager at Nothe Fort, Mary-Anne Edwards said:
“Nothe Fort is honoured to host Falklands Tribute by Standing With Giants. We have been overwhelmed by all the support from community groups and veterans groups that have come forward to offer help in installing and stewarding this exhibition. Thank you to our sponsor Portland Port for helping us bring the Falklands Tribute to Weymouth.
We were thrilled to be mentioned on BBC Breakfast on Wednesday morning, we want to get the word out so that no one misses it – this is a limited time exhibition, open to the public for twenty days only.
Our parade ground is the perfect setting for this art installation, and we look forward to seeing visitors walking amongst the silhouettes and reflecting upon the figures.”
