Join Craig Oldham, Sally Barton and Jarvis Cocker to explore聽the visual culture of dissent

Radical and revolutionary moments produce new kinds of visual culture. This evening marks the reissue of In Loving Memory of Work, a book curated and edited by Craig Oldham, which affirms the vital role of art in the UK Miners' Strike movement. This event celebrates the breadth of working class creativity while paying homage to a devastated community. The reissue marks the 40th anniversary of the Strike.

Musician and broadcaster Jarvis Cocker will chair a conversation between Oldham and the socially engaged artist Sally Barton. Copies of the book will be available for sale and signing.

This event has been provided by Tate Gallery on behalf of Tate Enterprises Ltd.

Jarvis Cocker

Jarvis Cocker is a musician & broadcaster from the north of England. He formed the band Pulp in 1978 whilst at secondary school. They went on to become one of the most successful UK groups of the 1990s. Between 2009 & 2017 he presented the BBC 6Music programme 鈥淛arvis Cocker鈥檚 Sunday Service鈥 as well as the ongoing, award-winning BBC Radio 4 documentary series 鈥淲ireless Nights鈥. He has honorary doctorates from both Sheffield Hallam University & Central Saint Martin鈥檚 School of Art (which he attended 1988-91). His lyric collection 鈥淢other, Brother, Lover鈥 was published by Faber in 2011. 鈥淕ood Pop, Bad Pop 鈥 , his first work of long-form prose, was published by Jonathan Cape in 2022. He divides his time between Paris, London & the Peak District. His star-sign is Virgo.

Craig Oldham

Craig Oldham has been named as one of the most influential designers working in the UK, and has written books on a range of topics, including education, visual culture, and politics. Oldham runs his independent design practice, Office Of Craig, based in Manchester and is Creative Director of Rough Trade Books. Born in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, at the end of the miners鈥 strike, in 2015 Oldham first published In Loving Memory of Work: A Visual Record of the UK Miners鈥 Strike 1984-85 as a testament to the creativity and cultural practices of working class communities like his own. The critically acclaimed and awarding winning book has since been expanded and republished for the 40th anniversary of the strike.

Sally Barton

Sally Barton (b. 1999, Sheffield) is a socially engaged artist based in London, currently working out of OOF Gallery Studios. Barton's practice has been shaped by her home in South Yorkshire and her family's stories of industry and resistance. She has made a body of work about the 1984-85 miners' strike, reimagining these histories as fairy tales told to her as a child. She has recently completed a commission with English Heritage & Photoworks, exploring the Nine Ladies Stone Circle in Derbyshire and working with local schools to respond to folk histories. The final body of work is now on show at Stonehenge Visitor Centre until September 2025.

Out of hours access to the Clore Auditorium is via the Clore Entrance, to the East side of Tate Britain. There is step free access from the street through to the auditorium.
