A panel debate on the material legacy of protests.

Including Turner Prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller and the Museum’s Director of Collections, Cathy Ross, this panel debate will consider how recent social unrest can be documented for future generations and which objects should be preserved to tell these stories - plus how the aesthetics of protest are informed by the visual arts and vice versa. The Museum has acquired banners and ephemera from the Occupy LSX camp, as well as several placards from last spring's March for the Alternative; many of which will be on display on the evening.

 In partnership with the Save our Placards! project
