Anthony Burrill & the depot_ present 'Change Everything', PV 4th November

Coming this autumn, the depot_’s latest show Change Everything, presents contemporary artists advocating for change through protest, and highlights the power of art in documenting and driving our future. Co-curated by Anthony Burrill, political activist and one of the most prominent creatives of our time, the exhibition brings together artists, collectives and makers who are instigating social change through their work. Following a pertinent year of worldwide upheaval and political unrest, the works shown encapsulate the ability of protest art to shift the narrative and capture the potential of a collective moment. Working with charity partner Music Declares Emergency, and incorporating a month-long events programme, the exhibition hopes to itself become a catalyst for change and conversation.

The exhibition exhibits original, limited editioned, new and archived works in textile, prints and photography.

All works are for sale and parts of profits donated to our charity partner Music Declares Emergency, alongside other charities where relevant.
