Myanmar, 300x300

Not another protest exhibition: Myanmar in revolt & feminist art practice

This exhibition explores the political possibilities forged at the convergence of collage and mixed media, protest and feminist art practices. Not another protest exhibition features the work of multidisciplinary artist, Chuu Wai (born in Shan State, Myanmar and now residing in Paris). The artwork engages with the broader historical and sociopolitical backdrop of contemporary Myanmar, enmeshed as it is in colonialism’s afterlives and authoritarian rule. 

This exhibition was funded by the LSE Knowledge Exchange and Impact Fund and organised by Sara Wong
Why are things this way, 300x300

Why are things this way?

Over a two month period in 2023, six residents of Hackney, East London came together with artist Andy Sewell and an LSE researcher to take photos in response to a series of open-ended prompts. In this exhibition, a selection of these photographs is presented alongside fragments of text drawn from transcripts of group meetings and individual conversations. The artwork captures and transcends the cost of living crisis, exploring the many intersecting challenges people face, interrogating the systems around which our society is structured.

It voices calls for another - more humane - way of thinking about and organising our society.

Underwater ecologies

Underworld ecologies  dived into remote and often inaccessible spaces across oceans and lands that remain unmapped, ungoverned, and invisibilised through long lineages of erasure. Offering a glimpse into the unknown, this exhibition reflected on and problematised different forms of extraction – of labour, fossils fuels, oceanic minerals, and scientific knowledge. 

This exhibition was organised by the LSE Law School.

Faces of hypnosis

Faces of hypnosis challenged viewers to reflect on how their latent assumptions about hypnosis have been constructed and maintained through an exhibition that depicts hypnotherapy in a new light. This exhibition, curated by Dr Nick Long, presented photographs, videos and artefacts that reflected the variety and complexity of what it is like to be a hypnotist, with a particular focus on Indonesian hypnotism.

This exhibit is organised by LSE Anthropology in association with LSE Arts, and is supported by the ESRC.
