Power for the People: Art, Protest, and the Archives of Activism symposium

Description

Hao was invited to chair the panel ‘Archiving Global Protest’ as part of the Power for the People: Art, Protest, and the Archives of Activism symposium programmed by the Henry Moore Institute.
Drawing on the strong industrial heritages of Leeds and Bradford, this conference examines the role of protest and political activism in twentieth and twenty-first century art. The conference questions the role politics should play in art today and how we understand the porous boundary between mass protest and art making. We’ll look at the histories sitting perhaps underappreciated in our archives and how they can they guide us into the future.

This event forms part of the Research Season – Bradford 2025: The Power of Public Sculpture, supported by Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture.
