Resistance: which way the future

by Artist Liz Crow
(presented by Roaring Girl Productions)

An award-winning, provocative and hauntingly beautiful Film installation

10th January – 3rd March
Open 9am-9pm Weekdays, 9am-5pm Saturdays
FREE

Resistance: which way the future? is the latest project from award-winning media production company Roaring Girl Productions (RGP). A timely and hopeful work, it explores the marginalisation of a minority social group and asks what can be done to prevent oppression in the future.

Resistance is a dual-screen interactive installation, comprising drama and documentary films and an immersive audio-video experience, which takes as its starting point the Nazi programme of mass-murder targeting disabled people living in institutions and, importantly, disabled people’s resistance to it.

Over a decade in the making, it is the latest project from award-wining writer-director Liz Crow, whose previous work has been shown at Tate Modern and the British Film Institute and who recently made a controversial appearance on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square as part of sculptor Antony Gormley’s One & Other project.
