On 11th January 2008 we held our first collaborative exhibition and event, together with
The New Art Exchange. The subject was Lace&Slavery – An Investigation. It brought together international cultural commentators Kodwo Eshun and Kobena Mercer, young people from Nottingham’s Hyson Green area, the Institute for the Study of Slavery based at Nottingham University and the artist Godfried Donkor, whose exhibition was held at The Yard Gallery in Nottingham’s Wollaton Hall.

Remember Revolution
In May 2008, we remembered
revolution by examining the relationship between filmmaking, recent art
and political revolt. The films at Broadway were complemented by
Disobedience, an ambitious and engrossing exhibition-cum-archive of
films, graphic art and other ephemera curated by Marco Scotini and
designed by artist Luca Frei. It drew a global picture of four decades
of resistance, beginning with the tumultuous events of Italy in the 70s
– the ‘Laboratory’ of what has been called the ‘Movement of Movements' today.
