How has resistance shaped Britain? With Steve McQueen (Part One)

Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet. I'm head of programming, Connor Boyle. I'm joined by producer Mia Sorrenti to discuss what we've got coming up on today's episode. Mia, what can listeners expect today? So today we have a really exciting episode, which is a live recording from our recent event with acclaimed filmmaker and artist Steve McQueen.

Now, many people will know of Steve McQueen, he needs very little introduction. He's an Academy Award winner for best. picture, he's won two BAFTA awards and a Golden Globe, also the Turner Prize, and of course an Oscar for his incredible film, Twelve Years a Slave. He's also known for other amazing works such as the BBC anthology Small Axe and his most recent film, Blitz. So he joined us on stage at Union Chapel recently to discuss his new photo book, Resistance.

He was in conversation with the journalist and author Gary Young to discuss the book, which is essentially a really amazing collection of essays and black and white photographs depicting a century of protest and power in 20th century Britain. It's accompanied by a major exhibition of the same name at Turner Contemporary. Um, and it's really a landmark work. So it was a real privilege to have Steve on stage speaking about it. Wow, and where this was a live event, so give us a picture.
