βπππ¨ππ¨π©ππ£ππ is doing something really important in capturing the history of grassroots social movements in the UKβ¦. told by the people who were there. It is an innovative model of collective archiving and exhibition-making (which) gathers together a dynamic mix of documents, images and know-how that will serve as a resource for present and future movements. It is evidence that you can change the world from below, by collective, organised disobedience.β
