Peter Kennard and Cat Phillipps make work that confronts power and war across the globe. Their artistic manifesto declares: 'We don’t see the work as separate to social and political movements that are confronting established political and economic systems. We see it as part of those movements, the visual arm of protest. We want it to be used by people as a part of their own activism, not just as pictures on the wall to contemplate.' Theresa May ('Profit') with the eyes blanked out, was fly-posted at the time of the 2017 General Election alongside word-posters by artist Robert Montgomery with a text satirising the Conservative government’s austerity measures.
