“I’ve always been very interested in protest,” said artist Sharon Hayes, as she explained the banner she held that said, “Organise Or Starve”, a slogan that was prominent during the 1933 unemployment strikes.

Hayes agreed, adding it was particularly interesting how such histroical political statements can mean just as much 75 years later.
