Tldr; 1. Mark movements, not just individuals.
2. Collective movements should be marked by collectively/collaboratively created artwork

There are better ways to publicly mark history than statues imo, ways that can represent the radical collective politics they commemorate. Read about how the Grunwick strike murals came about here discoversociety.org/2017/12/…

Big up @Grunwick40 @PukkahPunjabi for bringing struggles against capitalist exploitation, racism and patriarchy onto the high street and back into the collective memory. Should be like this in every neighbourhood.

Inspirational night at College of NW London @Grunwick40 production 'We are the Lions' reminding us of the significance of Jayaben Desai and the movement. Activism's imperative.
