V&A Barricade & Beacon

We were invited to help create an exhibition space at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, dedicated to structures relating to protest and civil unrest. This was also in aid of the release of Nick Newman’s book on the subject – Protest Architecture, Structures of Civil Resistance. 

“Peaceful structures for protest”

As in previous years the V&A is hosting numerous installations during LDF, including Barricade and Beacon – an installation of protest architecture created by Studio Bark.

The installation, which Dezeen reviewed as part of the preview tour, is made up of structures designed by the studio for protest group Extinction Rebellion and includes, as the name suggests, a barricade and a beacon.

It includes the modular boxes made by the studio to create barricades out of as well as the tensile protest towers.

You can visit the installation until 28th February 2025. Please find more information here.
