Peter Kennard is a London-based artist and activist and is Professor Emeritus of Political Art at the Royal College of Art. Since the 1970s, he has produced some of our most iconic and influential images of resistance and dissent.

From the Anti-Apartheid Movement and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) to Stop the War Coalition campaigns in the 2000s and his ongoing commitment to environmental activism, Kennard has developed a unique visual practice that bridges art and politics for a broad range of audiences.

Throughout his career, Kennard has responded to events as they happened. He has pursued art that, in his words, “counters and protests the established status quo, attempting to operate both in and outside the gallery to reach wider audiences”.  His distinctive photomontages are re-imagined through different formats and scales of publication to respond urgently to moments of crisis and attacks on people’s freedom, safety and dignity.
