‘Art and Protest — a thread’ is part of Interruptions/Disruptions, a programme of public events devised by Dr Eleanor K. Jones, Dr. Priti Mishra, and Dr Sarah Hayden in conjunction with John Hansard Gallery. This series is funded by the Public Engagement with Research Unit at the University of Southampton.
The Interruptions/Disruptions programme was devised as a polyvocal response to the themes animating the Voices in the Gallery exhibition, Many voices, all of them loved at John Hansard Gallery earlier in 2020.
