VETERAN political artist Peter Kennard has called on anti-war activists and environmental campaigners to work together to stop ecological catastrophe.

He made the comments ahead of tomorrow night’s launch of a new book and an exhibition documenting five decades of his political art, which has covered war, repression and resistance from Chile to South Africa and Iraq.

“I wanted to get through to young people about important political events that led up to the present, so they have a sense of context and the reality of dissent and protest in relation to what’s happening in the world,” he told the Morning Star.
