Echoes of Protest aims to understand the role protest can play in the politicisation of children and the long-term impact of its aftermath on their lives. The first stage of this research is an exhibition titled: A share of a pensioner’s Christmas ‘Bonus’ which premiered at the People’s History Museum Manchester in Dec 2015 – Jan 2016.
