The Power of Political Art

Long read:

My final project was inspired by protests in London and across the world regarding the conflict in Gaza. One of my journalistic interests is the Arts, so coming across Lewisham’s art collective, Collective Ending, and seeing their way of using posters to protest was what inspired my piece.

I interviewd Jeffrey Murer, Catherine Flood and others who gave me great insight into the topic of political art.

Podcast:

My podcast episode, Sound Systems, was inspired by the sounds of the Caribbean, exploring sound systems and their history. Speaking to Julian Henriques and Ria Hylton I was able to highlight a story deeply important to Caribbean and British heritage.

It was a pleasure to cover these topics as they allowed me to refine my knowledge and highlight the interesting edges of history and current affairs that this degree has allowed me to explore.
