Art on the Streets: New film brings the bombsite exhibitions of wartime Britain to life

Art on the Streets is a documentary created by University of Brighton design historian Dr Harriet Atkinson and filmmaker Jane Dibblin with Four Corners.

The film focuses on the For Liberty exhibition mounted in 1943 in the bombed-out John Lewis department store on London’s Oxford Street and investigates how exhibitions mounted from 1933 to 1953 in public spaces, were designed to communicate messages of propaganda and resistance.
