Compassion Is Dissent: The Institute for the Art and Practice of Dissent at Home

Following the devastating result of the May 2015 general election in the UK, the Institute for the Art and Practice of Dissent at Home organised "Compassion is dissent: Manifesto Slam." It put out an open call for participants, asking them to bring a three-minute manifesto as means of admission to the event. Here, the Institute showcases three manifestos and also presents the manifesto developed in response to a commission from the Live Art Development Agency for "Through the Looking Glass" Art Festival in St Helens in 2015.
