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. Exploring a surprising range of exhibits from around the world, visitors will be challenged to look critically at messages, methods, and media, discovering more about the use of propaganda through time and across cultures.
This evening event is aimed at Secondary teachers and will include talks, curator tours and a private view of the exhibition. It will also provide an opportunity to find out more about our workshops for students that will accompany the exhibition. The event is free and will include wine and canapés.
