Exhibition:Streic! 84-85 Strike!
Information
The Exhibition
1984: The year Margaret Thatcher took on the mining communities.
A summer of hope and high-spirited defiance leading to a winter of violence, hardship, loss of livelihoods – and ultimately life - across some of Wales’ hardiest communities. Forty years later, the effect of the Miners’ Strike lives on. From photos and placards of protest to personal stories of comradeship in their clash against a rapidly changing world, this important exhibition opens the door on the Miners’ Strike and its profound impact upon our nation.
Experience the passion and tension of the protest, in close up.
Activism NOW! Zine
Activism NOW! is both an introduction to what kind of activism is happening, now, in Wales, and a call-out to get involved, to take action, to be a part of something bigger than yourself. Click on the link to read more.
