In Solidarity - See our latest exhibition
Throughout history people have fought for their beliefs. Faced with war, injustice or persecution, individuals and communities have protested not just for themselves but in solidarity with others.
This exhibition seeks to highlight the different methods by which people have sought to make their voice heard. Namely through protest, the arts, collective action and by supporting those in need.
It is hoped that this historical lens might bolster a sense of common humanity as we stand with those in Ukraine.
