The Chamber of Pop Culture, at The Horse Hospital, Bloomsbury

Exhibition: Saturday 9th August - Saturday 30th August
12-6pm Mon-Sat
Private View: Friday 8th August 7.30pm

In association with CND, the exhibition aims to focus on the importance of the visual language in the early years of CND activity and the founding and propagation of its distinctive graphic aesthetic. Through rare original photographs, film, artwork, banners, posters and documentation dating from its inception 50 years ago. From Fear to Sanity is a celebration of CND's essential legacy, as pertinent now as ever, if not more.

Much of the unique body of work on display captures the mood and inherent fear surrounding the abstraction that was the nuclear bomb. The exhibition also acts as a testament to the time and the spirit of those 5000 ordinary people who assembled in Trafalgar Square on that cold wet Good Friday in 1958, before setting out on their momentous four day, 50 mile march, to the Aldermaston Hydrogen Bomb plant. Here this strong gathering of men, women and children peacefully protested against the manufacture, testing and employment, of the most terrifying weapon ever to be created by man.

During the course of the exhibition there will be a special programme of screenings and events including:

Screening of The March To Aldermaston, If You Love This Planet and Trinity & Beyond

Original audio interviews from the first march and talks by prominent peace movement activists.
