Museum of London
We The People
In a time of political and economic unrest, what gives you hope? What makes Brixton one of London’s most socially active communities? We The People was made in partnership with The Advocacy Academy, the UK’s first campus for young activists, based in Brixton. It explores themes of activism and community, past and present. We follow six inspiring conversations between activists and grassroots organisers, young and less young, making positive change at a local level. For many people, these are dire times. Meet some who dare to resist.
We The People is a Museum of London commission, supported using public funding by Arts Council England. Read more about the project and our work here: https://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/collections/about-our-collections/enhancing-our-collections/curating-london/we-the-people
