Blockadia Britain featuring Liberate Tate, BP or Not BP?, Platform, Greenpeace and Reclaim the Power

The Guardian News and Media Gallery, London

18 Jun–19 Jul 2018

Curated research exhibition

The exhibition explored creative protest relating to climate justice between 2007 and 2017 throughout the UK. The research looked at a number of intersecting practices across the arts, education, and activism that evolved out of a much greater awareness of the impact of the fossil fuel industry and its effects on social and environmental wellbeing. From protest camps to blockades, mass street action to high-concept intervention, media-jacking to occupations, the exhibition presented a timeline of high profile initiatives combining documentary photographs, artefacts, and press coverage.
