The People are Revolting

  • Sarah Black

In the age of dis-information, fake-news and social media the medium we were inspired by Patrick Thomas’s book ‘The Protest Stencil Toolkit’. The book contained numerous stencils die-cut and ready for use, giving the user no-matter how creative they were the tools to make their own messages. The stencils provided on the day range from the recognisable to most niche. We hosted a free drop-in and workshop across a day with materials provided by our long-term paper and event partner G . F. Smith for a range of ages and abilities. We were also on hand to help throughout the day with various artist friends giving advice and getting stuck in.
