Opening on the 2nd of May , is the ‘Thatcher Years – my 80’s‘ by Dave Sinclair, a photographic exhibition which represents some of the fightback against the Thatcher cuts in the 80’s. We are proud to have the infamous Bob Crow (RMT), Rob Williams (NSSN & his banner), Suzanne Muna (Unite Housing Workers) & a Liverpool 47 councillor, speaking on the opening night on the the 80’s fight against Thatcher & today.
There will also be an opportunity for you to record your thoughts, reflect on exhibition and events significance to you through Mouth – to – Mouth. This will involve video diary making using fake moustaches! Run by Claire Macneill, a participatory artist & filmmaker.
From 8pm, we will move into the main Richmix space, where we have a film, discussion & comedy with an anti austerity theme. We start with ‘Have I got Tax for you!’ a comedy written and presented by stand up Andrea Gordon. After the screening we will then have a Q&A around that with invited guests including the RMT & ‘Sick of Your boss’ campaign. This screening coincides with UKuncut High Court case against the HMRC over a deal that has allowed banking giant Goldman Sacks off at least £10 million interest.
Later in the evening you can sit back (& try to) relax with Flood Theatre a dark, satirical comedy company. “Like a politicized League of gentlemen” (ThreeWeeks). Then chuckle with/at the Anti-Duhring Battalion(Left Front), “any attempt to drag Nick Draper off a stage like that is futile. Draper is in his element & boy does he know it!” (Comments from a recent gig)
Door Charge: £7/£4 concessions from 8-11pm costs Book tickets via Richmix, London.
There will be another day long of events programmed as part of this festival on Sunday 12th May including our film – full details on our events page.
