Hats Richardson Talk (Title TBC)
Harriet Richardson is a London-based, Manchester born, artist and designer. Harriet studied graphic communication at the University of Central Lancashire, graduating with three D&AD Newblood awards and landed her first design job at Turner Duckworth in London. Six months into her career she was poached by Pentagram.
Harriet’s projects are often conceptual, using design to respond to political and cultural events, crises, and global concerns. She also works on visual identity projects – recent clients have included Extinction Rebellion and the Green New Deal for Europe, gives talks to university students about the positive impact moral creativity can have, and even creates “subversive fake news articles”. |
Sound Affects Discussion Panel
Sound Affects is a Brighton based, music-led evening based around three 15 minute talks, hosted by Jak Hutchcraft. The talks can be from anyone about pretty much anything surrounding music and subcultures. The speakers are often from “different places, who are talking about different eras of music, different genres, and the speakers themselves are from different disciplines. Maybe they’re a musician or maybe they’re just a music fan, filmmaker, artist or a photographer.
Sound Affects at Revolting Artists will take a slightly different format. The Sound Affects Discussion Panel hosted by Jak Hutchcraft will facilitate discussions around the subject of how music and art explore social issues and influence social change with some special guests! |
Jak Hutchcraft is a journalist and documentary filmmaker who works with VICE, The Face, The Guardian, Huck magazine and other platforms. His interests lie in music, counterculture and community. He also runs Brighton’s music and subcultures salon ‘Sound Affects’ – a night of talks and conversations which explore how sound affects us and how music changes the world. His new feature documentary - Right Here, Right Now – is out on Sky Documentaries.

"I Get Knocked Down" Film Screening / Q&A
I Get Knocked Down is the untold story of Leeds-based anarcho-pop band Chumbawamba. Founding band-member Dunstan Bruce is 59, and he is struggling with the fact that the world seems to be going to hell in a handcart. Twenty years after his fall from grace, Bruce is angry and frustrated, but how does a retired middle-aged radical get back up again? In this punk version of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, Dunstan is visited by the antagonistic ghost of his anarchist past – his alter ego, ‘Babyhead’ – who forces him to question his own life, sending him on a search for his long-lost anarchist mojo. Following Bruce’s personal voyage of rediscovery, redemption, and reawakening, I Get Knocked Down acts as a call to arms to those who think activism is best undertaken by someone else.
Film screening will be followed by an in-person Q&A with Dunstan Bruce hosted by Jak Hutchcraft.
