Punk Britannia…ideas on a post card

Who would you choose to include in a new project on protest in art? I’ve been mulling over this point as I listen to the news about Brexit (arghhh), protests about human rights in Hong Kong and the rapid world-wide climate change movement started by Greta Thunberg.

Collage helps me think so I started thinking about how non white, middle aged men were portrayed in art…and here they are

Reading the new “Art of Feminism” from Tate Publishing has inspired me to push this further and create a new Year 9 Punk Britannia/ Protest scheme..catchy title to follow.

So who would be on your who’s who of protest artists/ writers/ sportspeople/ civil rights activitists? Here’s my list, please comment below to expand my ideas

  • Jenny Holzer
  • Beyonce
  • Guerrilla Girls
  • Paula Rego
  • Claude Cahun
  • Lee Miller
  • Banksy
  • Pussy Riot
  • Hogarth
  • Gilray
  • Hannah Hoch
  • Ru Paul
