'Protest and Remembrance' at the Alan Cristea Gallery, London, brings together four British and Irish women artists, all of whom use drawing to examine elements of protest and/or remembrance through a range of subjects.

As a society we often come together, in times of celebration, in times of crisis, to protest or to mourn, or simply to remember.  Whether we are reflecting on our past or challenging our future, these artists are telling us the story of something that should not be forgotten.
