Music has long been a powerful way for people to express dissent, challenge injustice and imagine change. From traditional folk songs and the labour movement to contemporary artists, protest music has helped give voice to communities, bring people together and make the case for a different future.
The Protest Songbook brings this tradition into the present. Working with ten groups across Knowsley and St Helens, we'll explore the history of protest music, revisit songs that have shaped social movements and create new songs inspired by the issues, experiences and changes people want to see in their communities.
Bringing together different generations, musical traditions and lived experiences, the project will create a shared songbook of protest – celebrating the power of collective voices and imagining what we can achieve together.
