To commemorate the 90th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street we are delighted to present our new exhibition, Solidarity on the Streets.
This exhibition explores a century of collective action against racism, fascism and exclusion. London’s East End has been a refuge for migrant communities fleeing poverty and persecution for over 500 years, from Irish migrants and French Huguenots to Eastern European Jews and South-Asian Bengalis.
The exhibition includes photographs by Mayar Akash, Lloyd Gee, Sheila Gray, David Hoffman, Jess Hurd, Tom Learmonth, and Paul Trevor, with artwork by Dan Jones, archive film and documents. It includes five short films, created by Shirin Begum, Fela Callahan, Hester Gallen, George Ritchie, and Nileema Yesmin.
