The 100th anniversary of WWI offers a chance to consider a century of the anti-war movement that rose to prominence following the carnage. From a handwritten poem by Siegfried Sassoon to origi颅nal designs for the 鈥減eace symbol鈥 which became an emblem of 1960s coun颅terculture, from Vietnam to Iraq, People Power: Fighting For Peace聽tells the stories of anti-war protest through paintings, literature, posters, banners and music.聽Where are we marching? The future of protest聽is a day of debate within this radical exhibition, examining the role of social media in contemporary movements.
