Until the last Oak falls is a book of extraordinary unseen photographs by Adrian Fisk from early British environmental direct action protests 1995 - 1999 with the foreword written by award winning activist writer Jay Griffiths.
This compelling and awe-inspiring hardback book reminds us of those that did all they could quarter of a century ago to warn us of the dangers of environmental destruction. For the newer generation of environmental activists this extraordinary collection of photographs shines a light on the roots of the movement they rightly fight so hard for. Having a clear sense and understanding of the lineage and ancestry they follow strengthens those who currently work tirelessly to change our present trajectory. What was activism like back then and why is it important now?
Adrian’s talk will take the audience on a deep dive from the tree tops of the Newbury Bypass to Reclaim the Street's carnivalesque London protests, telling the stories behind the photographs with a talk that is as inspiring as it is moving.
There will be a limited number of copies of this first edition hardback available to buy on the night as well as posters.
Tickets are FREE but please book your place below.
Enjoy the talk with mulled wine and mince pies.
