Steve McQueen's exhibition highlights a century of protests

theweek.com

A new photography exhibition titled "Resistance," curated by filmmaker Steve McQueen, showcases 100 years of protest in Britain. It features significant events from the suffrage movement in 1903 to the anti-Iraq war marches, highlighting both well-known and forgotten protests. The exhibition includes powerful black-and-white images, such as a family watching a union leader on TV. While it presents a factual narrative, some critics note the absence of recent protests and current issues like climate change and Gaza. "Resistance" is on display at Turner Contemporary in Margate until June 1. The exhibition invites viewers to engage deeply with the stories behind the images.
