As part of CND's 50th anniversaryThe Chamber of Pop Culture is proud to present: From Fear to Sanity Exhibition: Saturday 9th August - Saturday 30th August 12-6pm Mon-Sat Private View: Friday 8th August 6.30pm In association with CND, the exhibition aims to focus on the importance of the visual language in the early years of CND activity and the founding and propagation of its distinctive graphic aesthetic. Through rare, original photographs (many of which have never been seen), film, artwork, posters, leaflets and documentation dating from its inception 50 years ago. From Fear to Sanity is a celebration of CND's essential legacy, as pertinent now as ever, if not more. Much of the unique body of work on display captures the mood and inherent fear surrounding the abstraction that was the nuclear bomb. The exhibition also acts as a testament to the time and the spirit of those 5000 ordinary people who assembled in Trafalgar Square on that cold wet Good Friday in 1958, before setting out on their momentous four day, 50 mile march, to the Aldermaston Nuclear Bomb plant. Here this strong gathering of men, women and children peacefully protested against the manufacture, testing and employment, of the most terrifying weapon ever created by man. Includes work by Gerald Holtom, Henrion, Ian McCaren, Briggs and McCaren, Poster Press, Robin Flor, Quaylestone and APA studios.
