Peter Kennard
This week’s guest on the Sound of Photography is Peter Kennard. For the last 50 years Peter has been Britain’s leading and most prominent political artist. He is renowned for his reactionary photomontages attacking political systems, capitalist greed, war mongering countries around the world and more recently environmental catastrophe as the world begins to disintegrate from global warming and pollution.His work has appeared in national newspapers, on banners at protest marches and posters that have become part of the urban fabric.
He has also been a Professor of Political Art at the Royal College of Art. See his website for a range of publications of his work.
Peter is currently showing a retrospective of his projects over the past 50 years entitled Archive of Dissent at the Whitechapel Gallery, London.
