Public artwork to mark end of World War Two

The images will be made up into a giant metal mosaic

A Lincoln art project to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War Two is calling for contributions from the public.

Our Freedom: Then and Now will feature a large-scale digital mosaic made up of more than 5,000 images sent in by people from across Lincolnshire.

Organisers said it would be animated with sounds, light and projection and be printed on aluminium to reflect the county's aviation history.

Images can be submitted online or at a number of local drop-in sessions being held from October.

The final artwork will be unveiled at Lincoln Arts Centre in November.

The centre's creative and executive director Ben Anderson said: "This is Lincolnshire's voice in a national conversation.

"Built with and for our communities – from RAF Digby to Boston – it honours our wartime past while asking what freedom means today.

"With global conflict still shaping lives, it's a deeply resonant moment to reflect through art."

The Lincolnshire project is one of 80 taking place across the UK to commemorate the end of the conflict.

It is funded by the government through Arts Council England.
