Rage against the dying of the light
Clapham Omnibus Theatre, London
THIS is an angry, refreshing art exhibition at the Omnibus Theatre in Clapham Common. Organised via The Red Art Club, Curated by Amber Hill, Ameilia Varley, Enya Esteban, Eva and Isabel Valdez, this is a sizzling exhibition of political art from 21 different artists.
Using the final line from Dylan Thomas’s poem Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night, this exhibition spits in the face of politicians, of oil giants and leaders. The Red Art Club calls for a collective unified front against the forces that seek to destroy us.
Ekaterina Egorushkina’s painting is of the Metropolitan Police kettling peaceful protest. It could be of today’s Just Stop Oil protesters, treated as criminals as the right to protest is removed. History will have a different perspective.
The Red Art Club is doing something distinctly different with this exhibition — this is the dissonant art of revolutionaries, who despite everything have hope: we must always continue to rage against the dying of the light.
Runs until February 3, admission free. For more information see: www.redartclub.art
