The Roots Resistance is proud to collaborate with Exeter Phoenix to present a collection of film, art, photography, poetry, music and more! Join us for an evening of both celebration and reflection as we come together as a community to share in the beautiful art that has been created in Exeter over the last year.
With the aide of the Exeter Decolonising Network, Exeter Annual Fund and the Education Incubator, over the past year Roots Resistance was able to commission artwork from the community. This showcase is the resulting body of work (and more!) achieved by the collective and its members.
This series of pieces represent the threads of creativity that run through in Exeter and beyond. It shares the voices, perspectives and experiences of both the individual and the collective in a selection of films, visual displays and live music and poetry performances.
