Derek Jarman: PROTEST! at Manchester Art Gallery
Originally intended to be displayed in 2020, Manchester Art Gallery finally opens its doors to a major retrospective exhibition on pioneering queer artist Derek Jarman. Focusing on Jarman’s diverse career as a painter, film-maker, writer, set-designer, gardener, and political activist, PROTEST! serves as the first exhibition to bring together these myriad strands in over twenty years. Capturing his engagement with arts and contemporary society, particularly in regard to queer rights and the AIDS crisis, the exhibition demonstrates both his personal and public protest work, some of which has never been displayed in public before.
