Come face to face with a colourful selection of historic and contemporary banners, the handiwork of those who fought for the rights we have today.
Reflecting significant campaigns, varying through time and topic; from highlighting homelessness in the 1940s, to lesbians and gays supporting striking miners of the 1980s, to today’s continuing fight for disabled people’s rights, alongside representations of trade unions of the past and present, the themes the banners explore will resonate with visitors as strongly today as they did when the banners were created and carried.
Now part of an internationally significant museum collection, brought together these banners are a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when ordinary people stand together for ideas worth fighting for.
Family Friendly exhibition, suitable for all ages.
The exhibition is made possible thanks to support from The Barry Amiel & Norman Melburn Trust, The Lipman-Miliband Trust, and Granada Foundation.
