Friday 10th to Sunday 12th August 07 - Propaganda Weekend

Propaganda weekend in Hull - posters, film, live music and a book; supporting asylum seekers and refugee organisations; celebrating diversity and resistance. From Agit-Prop to Art House, from fly posting to frame, Propaganda: Hull Rock Against Racism Posters 1979-82 gatecrashes the Ferens Art Gallery in Hull on Friday August 10 for a visually stunning summer show, introducing a weekend of anti-racist events in the city.

Twenty-five years ago, Rock Against Racism took a leading role in the battle against racism in Hull, building a community campaign at grass roots level with music as its driving force. Still with the power to smack you right between the eyes, these screen-printed street posters promoted dozens of local bands, all eager to take a stand against racism, including The Akrylyk Vyktymz and Timber Flesh (featuring future Fine Young Cannibal, Roland Gift).

With originals now on permanent display at Wilberforce House Museum and the Lamp in Hull, this major retrospective of the full compelling collection commemorates Wilberforce 2007, its own 25th anniversary and the continuing fight against racism.

To coincide with the exhibition, Propaganda - a full-colour glossy postcard book of the exhibition- will be launched in bookshops and online from August 11. Containing 18 vivid images from the poster collection, the book includes a short history of Rock Against Racism as well as texts written by people currently seeking political asylum in Hull. NUT member, poster-maker and author Richard Lees explained: 'These are moving, poetic, gripping accounts of lived experiences from people confronting racism on the streets of Hull today. Propaganda is about connecting past with present struggles, powerful words with powerful pictures.'

Unique events at local clubs take centre stage during the Propaganda weekend. Who Shot the Sheriff? - a radical rockumentary about the roots of Rock Against Racism and the rise of the contemporary LoveMusicHateRacism campaign will be screened for the first time ever in Hull at the Lamp, on Saturday 11th August at 7.30pm. To end the weekend celebrating diversity and resistance, live-music at the Adelphi on Sunday 12th August includes not-to-be-missed newcomers The Cliques plus others supporting Wilberforce 2007 and Love Music Hate Racism.

Join us at a Propaganda event, visit www.hullrockagainstracism.co.uk and take a stand against racism and fascism. Propaganda weekend in Hull - posters, film, live music and a book; supporting asylum seekers and refugee organisations; celebrating diversity and resistance.
