This book documents a unique artistic collaboration where children transformed protest into a creative medium. The project, initiated by artist Peter Liversidge, involved school children from London and Stockholm who, through workshops, decided on their messages and created banners, posters, and songs to express their views on the world. The resulting performance, a protest rally, is captured within these pages, offering insight into the children's perspectives and their engagement with societal issues.
This book offers a unique perspective on artistic expression and social engagement through the eyes of children. The inclusion of texts from curators and critics, alongside direct documentation of the children's work, provides a multi-faceted view of the project's impact. The focus on the creative process and the children's own voices suggests a work that is both informative and thought-provoking for readers interested in contemporary art and participatory projects. The presentation of the children's creations and musical scores allows for a direct appreciation of their contributions.
