so a few weeks ago, I visited the Disobedient Objects exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum, at first glance, the exhibition is overwhelming, laid out in a long square room with a multitude of objects creating a divide between different points of interest, but an open space above you, crowding with banners, one of the banners being one of my favourite pieces, the 'Capitalism is Crisis' banner, spreading across the majority of the air space in the room, and catching your eye when you first step in.
Although there were so many different things to look at, my favourite part of the exhibition was the wall in the corner, surrounded by people and filled with so much that it was almost overwhelming to look at. it was a space in the exhibition that enabled visitors to have their say and share their views to everybody in there. ( the exhibition was free, so that's a lot of people) Across the span of the wall I could see discussions going on through post it nights, different people retaliating with their opinions to different matters, posters, drawings, badges and cards, poems and songs, titles of current issues and affairs, even underwear. views on issues such as feminism, racism, sexism and war were being displayed across the wall, it was amazing to see.
Overall the exhibition was brilliant, extremely eyeopening and welcoming. It's so good to see people come together to share views on such important issues, and to have a perspective on how many in the world actually care about their rights and stand up for what they believe in, or at least have a part in doing so.
