Desert Island Images: Chris Nineham
Desert Island Images is a series of conversations with guests with a story to tell and a passionate relationship to the world of images. Join us as Chris Nineham shares his Desert Island Images.
What are the images that stay with you? The most inspiring or haunting. The images you can see if you close your eyes and just remember, or dream. Which would you take to that mythical desert island?
Chris Nineham is a founder member of the Stop the War Coalition and currently its vice chair. He was one of the organisers of the February 15th 2003 demonstration in London that saw two million people march against the Iraq war, and also central to the international co-ordination that led to the protests going global. He was previously an international organiser of the Genoa G8 anti-capitalist protests in 2001 and played a key role in the European Social Forums from 2002. He has written a number of books including The People v Tony Blair and The British State: A warning. His new book, Radical Chains: Why Class Matters is coming out in May.
Desert Island Images is a series of conversations with invited guests who have a story to tell and a passionate relationship to the world of images. Hosted by the Barbican Library, each event explores the handful of images they find most powerful, inspiring, comforting, haunting or generally indispensable. Encompassing photographs, paintings, drawings, graphics, illustrations, films, TV, maps, diagrams and more, Desert Island Images is an invitation to take the pulse of our image saturated world via a unique personal and critical perspective.
