(Never) again
A busy day in London. I met some old work colleagues for coffee in Aldgate and then went to the Whitechapel Gallery to see the Peter Kennard: Archive of Dissent exhibition.
"Since the 1970s, Kennard has produced some of our most iconic and influential images of resistance and dissent. From the Vietnam War, Anti-Apartheid Movement, Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), and Stop the War Coalition campaigns in the 2000s, through to the present wars in Ukraine and Gaza and his ongoing commitment to environmental activism, Kennard has developed a unique visual practice that bridges art and politics for a broad range of audiences."
It's an excellent exhibition, but depressing in how so much of these works, dating from the 70s and 80s, remain entirely current today - not least NEVER AGAIN.
