Dedicated to critical cultural production at the intersection of art and activism.

Wondering how to mark a decade’s passing since the Battle of Seattle? Some Londoners have a suggestion.

It’s easy to consider this a time for common reflection, since the event came to both represent and catalyze thinking around the movement of movements. Still oft-heard phrases like “another world is possible” owe their roots to the protest, and it informs much social justice thought – even the three word chant still makes headlines.

Signs of Revolt offers up a narrative for the decade, particularly of the creative resistance wrought over those ten years.

Using archive material and documentary photography and video from movement photographers and filmmakers. It reveals the story of how we got from Seattle to Copenhagen.

Works that were produced in, around, and for these social movements will be exhibited in London during the third week of November, and the show is coupled with a series of relevant talks and screenings.
