As part of Brighton Photo Biennial 2012, Lighthouse are hosting a screening of compelling images which document over 40 years of protests in Brighton. Whose Streets? will be shown as a screening, prior to the photographs being installed in Jubilee Square and across the city.

Brighton has a rich history as a contested political space. Exploring the archives of Brighton’s long established newspaper BPB12 curators have worked with Argus photo-journalists to select compelling images from over 40 years of local protests.
