GLF AT 50; THE ART OF PROTEST is a new exhibition running at Platform Southwark till Saturday, August 29 to celebrate the 50th year of the Gay Liberation Front, the movement that radically shifted personal and public attitudes to LGBTQ+ equality.
While other spaces have exhibited GLF artefacts before, this is the first ever exhibition to focus solely on the artwork, of whatever form, made for and by GLF activists from the last 50 years, as well as younger LGBTQ+ activist artists.
