Taking Liberties

Sometimes, the synchronicity in life really amazes me. Visiting the British Library exhibition Taking Liberties, I had the opportunity to navigate through the social history of law and justice throughout the U.K. I was sure that there would be something on the coal mining culture or the strike but there wasn't.

With this thought in mind I exited the exhibition where 100 post-it notes clipped on the wall were people had wrote comments. The first note I was draw to ironically exclaimed "If you believe in DEMOCRACY try telling that to the miners in 1984".



From the recent exhibition at the British Library.
