Massive Attack x Legacy of War Jewellery

Born from artist and Massive Attack co-founder Robert del Naja’s vision to inform and create change, these unique pieces connect the stories of Giles Duley’s work, ARTICLE22’s Laotian artisans who repurpose shrapnel and other scrap to support UXO clearance, and Legacy of War Foundation’s mission to help communities rebuild themselves.

Supporting communities affected by conflict, Legacy of War Foundation is an international charity that starts conversations and builds collaborations with conflict survivors, non-profits, and creatives. The foundation provides injured civilians in remote areas with prosthetics as well as prosthetist and orthotic job trainings.

Your purchase contributes to Legacy of War Foundations’ work.

Finished with sterling silver, each pendant is transformed by Laotian artisans from shrapnel and other scrap into modern artifacts, dropped + made in Laos, to traditional livelihoods, village development, and de-mining.

We wanted to create something so much more than an exhibition – and I think we succeeded. I’m proud to have been part of it. We created a place of conversation, collaboration and community. Solidarity not sympathy.

Thank you to all who made this happen. Especially all the amazing volunteers!

Here’s Phoebe Arnstein’s short film for Port Magazine about the show.

And one more a HUGE thank you to all the volunteers that make the Legacy of War Foundation!

The Power of a Story: TEDx Talk

Can a small gift make a difference? Do we all have the power to create change?

We at Legacy of War Foundation believe so.

Giles Duley’s TEDx tells the story of some of Syria’s most vulnerable refugees, about my own experiences working on Legacy of War and how a small gift can change a life. We all have the power to make a difference.
