Join us for a day’s exploration event to explore the art of resistance — both a honed craft and a creative output. 

This two-part event will begin with a panel discussion exploring the impactful history and enduring relevance of 'protest songs'. Dorian Lynskey, author of 33 Revolutions per a Minute: A History of Protest Songs will be joined in discussion by Dr Samuel Boateng (St John's College) and Dr Euton Daley MBE.

In the evening, we will be treated to an excerpt of an award-winning performance by Josette Bushell-Mingo OBE, centering on the work and legacy of Nina Simone.

While we encourage you to attend both the panel discussion and the performance, you are welcome to join either part individually.
