Art as resistance: Meet Peter Kennard
Renowned London-based artist and activist Peter Kennard has spent over five decades using art as a weapon against injustice. Speaking to MEMO, Kennard reflects on his prolific career, his latest exhibition ‘Archive of Dissent’ at Whitechapel Gallery, and the power of creativity to inspire resistance. From the Vietnam War to Gaza, Kennard’s photomontages deconstruct images of power and oppression, exposing the human cost of war and inequality. His striking visuals are more than just art - they are acts of defiance, giving voice to the silenced and shining a light on global injustices. Kennard speaks of the profound impact Palestine has had on his work. His pieces on Gaza capture the resilience of its people amidst unimaginable horrors, turning outrage into a call for action.
