Art and Protest: Resistance is fertile



Interesting show at the Daniel Libeskind Space (166-220 Holloway Road, Islington N7 8DB) but you'll have to be quick to catch it, as it is only on from 3rd to 5th April. Evenings from 18:00 to 20:00 when booking is required. No booking required for day-time entry (11.30am - 4.30am).

Art and Protest: Resistance is fertile is a Guerilla Galleries show. Guerilla Galleries seek to engineer, produce and curate an annual series of exclusive shows, exhibitions and events. They provide a platform for emerging artists and talented creatives to showcase and bring their work to new audiences.  

Pouka, a commission4mission member, is contributing work to the show which documents and celebrates the passion, pain, and power of protest through film, photography, fine art and more exponents than you can wave a placard at. Exploring scenes and re-examining snapshots of demonstrations and protest actions from living memory captured, re-told and innovatively delivered by a carefully selected band of artists and creatives in true Guerilla Galleries style.

This three-day show offers candid insight, fresh perspectives and levels of honesty previously unseen in themed shows of this nature. Art and Protest is not about choosing or taking sides, it's about artists telling tales and allowing an audience to decide.
