The DSEI arms fair is due to take place in London in September 2019. War Starts Here. We need to stop it here.

So, how are we going to stop it? How can we escalate creative resistance to DSEI? Join us on Sunday 4th November, 9.30 – 4.30 to find out!

The venue is in central London. Please apply for a place to find out the specific location.

We will have an interactive dive into strategic creative cultural resistance and action. We will look at principles, theories, stories and tactics that every activist building for a more just world would want in their toolbox!

What is Beautiful Trouble?

“Beautiful Trouble’ is a book, a web toolbox and an international network of extraordinary artist-activist trainers and creative campaigners focused on strengthening their connected social movements through sharing the tactics and techniques of game-changing creative activism.

“The current political moment calls for bold leaps of imagination, new forms of organizing and a fearless blend of confrontation and celebration. Beautiful Trouble is a crash course in the emerging field of carnivalesque realpolitik, both elegant and incendiary.”
