Speaker(s): Victoria Broackes | You Say You Want a Revolution? Records and Rebels 1966-70 is the VA’s major exhibition for autumn-winter 2016-17. Co-curator Victoria Broackes discusses how the exhibition explores the significance and impact of the late 1960s through the era-defining music, performances, fashion, film, design and political activism, and raises the questions: what did the optimistic idealism of the period do for us and where are we now? Victoria Broackes is Senior Curator for the VA Department of Theatre Performance, and Head of Festival for the London Design Festival at the VA. In 2013 she co-curated David Bowie is, the fastest selling exhibition in the VA’s history. For autumn 2016 she is co-curating the major VA exhibition You Say You Want a Revolution?, an interactive, music led exhibition about the ongoing impact of the social and cultural youth revolutions of the late Sixties. Victoria has developed several other popular music displays for the VA, from Kylie: The Exhibition (2007) to The Story of the Supremes (2008) and The House of Annie Lennox (2011). The Ralph Miliband Programme (@RMilibandLSE) is one of LSE's most prestigious lecture series and seeks to advance Ralph Miliband's spirit of free social inquiry.
