An activist I meet talks about the attributes of activism: anger and hope. She describes the power of hope - that people coming after you will take up the baton. The suffragettes did not reap all the fruit of their fight in their lifetimes, for example, but the women generations after them did. Activists continue to be born as we see in the climate change protests of the young today.

I visit Bloomberg New Contemporaries at Leeds Art Gallery and am pleased to encounter some political works.
