Posts tagged What I did in the eighties

To accompany the opening of Actions of Art and Solidarity at the Kunstnernes Hus Norway this week, the curatorial team at the Office for Contemporary Art, Norway invited participating artists to contribute ideas for a protest playlist.

These were my suggestions :

Get Up, Stand Up – Bob Marley and the Wailers

Respect – Aretha Franklin

What’s Going On – Marvin Gaye

Ku Klux Klan & Handsworth Revolution – Steel Pulse

Run the World (Girls) – Beyonce

Listen to these and more here.

COMMON PEOPLE

My COMMON PEOPLE photography exhibition is currently installed at Doughty Street Chambers,London,
home to renowned international human rights and civil liberties
barristers, including Beccy Trowler QC pictured here. I photographed Beccy,
and other women peace protestors at Greenham Common, during the mid eighties
in the midst of a particularly harsh winter - all as part of my photography degree whilst studying at Salisbury College of Art.

Please message me if you would like to attend the private viewing event.
