Sunday School Stories | Protest Posters

Aiming to co-create a better world by learning from the past how to build a better future.

Students from local secondary schools will be inspired by archival materials of Union Chapel's social justice heritage to create Protest Posters. History Detective volunteers will the uncover fascinating stories in Union Chapel's 200+ year archive as well as connecting historical dots alongside Islington's local history. With these creative workshops, in collaboration with the Estorick Collection, students will have the chance to boost their critical thinking by experimenting with materials from sociopolitical leaflets to music posters and architecture maps to produce their artwork that will be on display in Union Chapel as part of our Your Story Festival of Social Change in 2026.

The Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art is internationally renowned for its core of Futurist works. It comprises some 120 paintings, drawings, watercolours, prints and sculptures by many of the most prominent Italian artists of the modernist era. There are six galleries, two of which are used for temporary exhibitions. Since opening in 1998, the Collection has established a reputation and gained critical acclaim as a key venue for bringing Italian art to the British public.
