This Way To The Revolution

Towards the end of 1968 a group of several hundred students occupied Birmingham University’s Great Hall for over a week, in protest at the lack of student involvement in university decision-making.

This walk is inspired by this combustible moment, drawing on events that led up to the occupation both locally and beyond.
