"Beyond the Barricade" exhibition will be hosted by Studio 3 Gallery (University of Kent, Canterbury) between 28 September – December 2018.

By documenting past upheavals and recent events, the exhibition aims to present artistic creation as a form of social and political action.
‘Barricade’ originates from the French ‘barrique’ (barrel) and denotes a physical barrier designed to resist, obstruct or protect. The first barricade as an expression of socio-political turmoil is usually traced back to 16th century France and was largely employed during the 19th century revolutionary events. Nowadays barricades take many forms and shapes but remain essential elements of protests and revolutions.
