Twenty years on and the Falklands War is revisited with a display at the Imperial War Museum marking the anniversary of the conflict. Four staff and students from Duncan Of Jordanstone College Of Art, Dundee, have created an interactive show with images which will be projected on to a wall of the museum's gallery.

Invited to the islands by British forces commander Brigadier David Nicholls, the artists came across many visual and often highly personal traces of the war. Utilising what they encountered and influenced by their own experiences of the conflict, the four set about improving the army base at Mount Pleasant with site-specific works.

The results of their different responses (such as the image by E. Shemilt, right) - and a reminder of the last hurrah of the British Empire - can now be viewed on home turf away from the penguins.

Traces Of Conflict, from Sat 23 Mar, Imperial War Museum, Lambeth Road, SE1 (020-7416 5320)
