As a source of primary research, we took a trip to see what was going on. The entrance to the building is collaged in hand rendered banners expressing opinion's of the students, made from great big fabric banners to paper posters simply stuck onto the walls. Inside the doors, a petition is set out on a table in order for people to sign in agreement to the topic of protest. Also outlaying rules which the university has set in place to keep the protest peaceful. Inside too, the walls are collaged in posters. Further into the building a lecture theatre, in which all related talks take place has each of their four walls completely covered in relating articles. Unfortunately, no talks were taking place as we visited, also photography wasn't allowed But I did take several photos of what was going on, here they are:
Some flyers on display at Leeds college of art advertising a 3rd 'walk out' in which students protest
The outside of the Rupert Lecture Theatre
Front door, covered in posters
Inside posters and tapestries are draped
Several posters
An occupation dairy:
'I was looking forward to the protest on the 24th so much. I had been at the London demo and was outside millbank, i loved the atmosphere of change, anger, involvement and partying. The music bike at the London and Leeds demos confirmed me that dub step is the music of protesting. I was mildly disappointed at the radical lack of action in Leeds. I was angry at the police overusing aggravated horses, and angry at the line of police 'Leading' the march.'
Humour was seen in a lot of the posters seen
Relating articles were put up around the lecture theatre doors.
Heres the overall collage
Even the french department got in on the action
