Join us at Art Exchange for a talk about the founding vision of the University of Essex, and what happened to that vision when the students turned up.

Through archival film footage and press cuttings from the 1960s and 70s, including May '68, we will explore the protests and pickets that put the University of Essex on the front page of the national newspapers.

Admission free - all welcome.
