Beskrivning

In a world full of oppression and social injustice, what can protest banners do? The Protest Banner Lending Library started in Chicago, USA in 2016. The project includes free public banner making workshops teaching people how to make their own protest banners. As these fabric banners are reusable, they can also be maintained in a collection that is accessible for anyone to borrow and reuse.

We will discuss the impact and potential of protest banners, examining their role in creating change and bringing people together, both in the making, and their shared use afterwards.

This is part of a series of public events introducing the THINGSTIGATE research project. The project is funded by the European Research Council. For full program, go to linktr.ee/thingstigate.
