Introduction To Peter Kennard
Peter Kennard is an artist whose photomontages, installations and paintings are known globally, gaining exposure in galleries, on the streets, in newspapers, magazines, posters and books.
Over a 50-year career, Kennard has produced some of Britain's most iconic images of dissent. From the Vietnam War, Anti-Apartheid Movement, Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), and Stop the War Coalition campaigns in the 2000s, through to the present wars in Ukraine and Gaza and his ongoing commitment to environmental activism, Kennard remains at the cutting edge of political art.

Human rights and activism for Palestine & Gaza: Bystanders No More
Meanwhile, a great initiative:
>> Bystanders No More
"Helping people speak up about human rights in Palestine"
If…
✅ You believe in human rights and international law
✅ You care about all people – including Palestinians
✅ You are concerned about the atrocities in Gaza
But…
❌ You worry you’ll be labelled antisemitic or pro-Hamas if you speak out
❌ You think that you (and the public) are powerless in this situation
❌ You don’t feel educated enough to take action
Bystanders No More
"Helping people speak up about human rights in Palestine"
A basic sense of right and wrong is all that is required to stand up now against the collective punishment of civilians. No degree or specialised expertise is necessary, and taking action doesn’t always look like taking to the streets to protest or being outspoken on social media.
Concerned citizens can lobby elected officials to support policies, donate to organisations, join the Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions movement and simply talk to friends and family. Each of us may choose different ways to help stop the atrocities, but we all must do something.

It's the end of the empire, and it's a good thing
Here is a nice video recording helping understand why it is a good thing... If you need it.

2025
I'm not too optimistic at the moment...
But, as Toni Morrison once wrote, ”this is precisely the time when artists go to work — not when everything is fine, but in times of dread. That’s our job!”
