Since the early 1980’s, though our involvement with the Rainbow Centre in Nottingham, Veggies has catered for a huge diversity of radical campaigns for positive social change.
Documenting these 40 years of protest and resistance in the UK, through photos, videos, text and objects, Resistance Exhibition, aims to foster a public archive of a vibrant protest culture in the UK; a documenting of history by the people who made that history.
On Sunday 8th June we offer an exclusive to view this touring exhibition at Sumac Centre.
In 2003, in Britain, secret political police infiltrated a group of idealistic young environmental activists in Nottingham, forming sexual relationships and spying without warrant on hundreds of innocent civilians.
Kate Wilson fought back. She took the Met to the Investigatory Powers Tribunal, at times battling alone without funding or legal representation, enduring bullying, psychological intrusion and further state surveillance. It took her nearly twenty years to uncover the eerie truth about Britain’ s secret political police, and the extent of their operations, which she has revealed in her new book.
Much of the activity documented by Kate took place at Nottingham’s Sumac Centre; we are delighted that Kate will be joining us here to tell her story. Kate will be joined by three others Sumac Centre organisers from the time, who were impacted by the undercover police operation.
More on spycops activities as Sumac were discussed at the The Spies Who Ruined Our Lives event in October 2024.
