Propaganda: Power and Persuasion
From safe sex to dictatorships, from the iconic to the everyday, Propaganda: Power and Persuasion is the first exhibition to explore how different states have used propaganda during the 20th and 21st centuries, in peace-time and in war. Posters, films, cartoons and textbooks reveal the many ways by which the state tries to influence its citizens.
Free workshops exploring the exhibition are available for secondary and further education students. Sessions will take place in the exhibition and include a series of creative activities led by our workshop leaders.
Exploring a surprising range of exhibits from around the world, students will be challenged to look critically at messages, methods, and media, discovering more about the use of propaganda through time and across cultures.
