Mission
The Museum of Unrest harnesses the power of art and design to address social and environmental issues and injustices.
Values
Collaboration, innovation and imagination, both conventional and unconventional as suits the moment.
What we do
We promote and develop creative solutions that inspire and initiate positive change.
Through our online resources and educational programs, we aim to support and create a more just society and regenerative, sustainable environment.
We embrace contemporary art and design from around the world, bring diverse perspectives together, and encourage the free exchange of ideas.
Background
The Museum of Unrest is organised by lps21 a not-for-profit independent charity based in the UK..
Over the years we’ve changed with the times.
In 1975, we began as Paddington Printshop a community arts organisation in west London. In the 1990s we expanded to become London Print Workshop, a regional printmaking resource working with artists and local communities. In 2000 we opened a purpose-built gallery and printmaking facility londonprintstudio, which flourished until 2020 when a combination of Covid and diminishing support from Arts Council England precipitated the faciliy’s closure .
Ever optimistic we launched Museum of Unrest in 2024 with the aim of becoming a global educational resource for artists, designers and communities committed to the idea that ‘another world is possible’
If you like and support this idea, and would like to work with us, we would be delighted to hear from you.
