A Penarth-based artist is behind a new exhibition to mark Holocaust Memorial Day.
Local landmarks, including Barry Town Hall, are being lit up in purple as part of the annual commenorations in the Vale of Glamorgan.
Vanishing Point, a mixed media exhibit, marks this year's contribution from the Art Central Gallery in Barry and the start of its 20th anniversary year.
It is based on the theme of 'Bridging Generations' - highlighting the importance of passing on stories of persecution and survival onto others.
Richard Bowers' work takes in large scale visuals, sculptural forms and sound to explore themes of displacement, loss, exile and hope, encouraging visitors to reflect on the connections between past atrocities and today's world.
It also draws on the word of the 20th century Spanish philosopher George Santayana - who said that remembering history is essential to preventing its repetition.
Cllr Rhiannon Birch, cabinet member for education and arts at Vale of Glamorgan Council, said: "It is especially meaningful to see a locally based artist contributing to this year's Holocaust Memorial Day exhibition."
"Art has a unique power to help us understand difficult histories and their relevance today. We hope this exhibition will encourage reflection, conversation and learning across generations."
The council has marked Holocast Memorial Day annually to remember the six million Jewish people murdered and the victims of subsequent genocides such as those in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.
Rob Thomas, chief executive of Vale of Glamorgan Council, said: "Holocaust Memorial Day is an important moment for reflection. Marking this day each year ensures that the lessons of the Holocaust and other genocides are not forgotten."
"Remembrance, education and understanding remain vital in building a more tolerant and compassionate society."
Council leader Lis Burnett added: "We have a collective responsibility to remember the horrors of the Holocaust and to ensure that its history is passed on to future generations."
"By supporting events such as this exhibition and lighting our landmarks, we are reaffirming our commitment to education, remembrance and standing against hatred and discrimination in all its forms."
Vanishing Point can be seen at the Art Central Gallery until Saturday 28th February.
