Podcasts about Orgreave

In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Jeremy Deller (@jeremydeller) Jeremy Deller is a British conceptual artist renowned for his innovative and socially engaged practice. His work often explores history, politics, memory, and collective identity, blending art with performance, video, and community involvement.Deller's approach is notable for its inclusivity—he often collaborates with non-professional participants to produce work that challenges traditional notions of art and authorship. One of his most significant works is The Battle of Orgreave (2001), a reenactment of the violent 1984 miners' strike confrontation between police and striking miners. The project addressed themes of working-class struggle, historical memory, and the spectacle of violence, raising questions about how history is remembered and represented. This immersive approach to historical events would become a hallmark of Deller's practice. Other notable works include English Magic (2013), a politically charged series that critiques British national identity, capitalism, and inequality. Deller's work often critiques social and political structures while encouraging dialogue and participation. In 2004, he won the Turner Prize for his ability to redefine art's relationship to both the public and its cultural contexts. Deller's work continues to reflect his belief that art should engage with and speak to the world around it, often offering new ways of understanding the past, present, and future.

The miners' strike of 1984-85 demonstrated the power of the state acting in the interests of capital and against working people as jobs and mining communities were destroyed. That state power was no where more evident than the systematic attack on picketing miners at Orgreave with many injured and imprisoned. There were meticulous plans formulated by the government and the police to crush the miners. Orgreave became the blueprint for the policing of dissent and sent a harsh message to working class people that strike action would be met by the full force of the state. 40 years later those falsely arrested and injured are still waiting to see justice.

The Ordinary Elite is a Scottish podcast series brought to you from Glasgow by John McGovern and Mike Dailly. Both are Solicitor Advocates - John a criminal defence practitioner and Mike a civil litigation practitioner and social justice campaigner. On 18 June 1984, 8,000 striking miners picketed lorry drivers outside of the Orgreave coking plant. Pickets were peaceful but at Orgreave, miners were met with 6,000 police officers in riot gear with batons, shields and horses. In our 16th episode in Season 2, we talk with two Scottish miners - Brendan Moohan and Pat Egan who were at Orgreave on 18 June 1984. We discuss police brutality that day, being arrested, charged and prosecuted for peacefully protesting against the loss of people's livelihoods.

We're 40 years on from the so-called Battle of Orgreave, when thousands of picketing miners were attacked by riot police in South Yorkshire in what has been described as one of the most violent clashes in British industrial history, with police using ‘paramilitary' tactics. And to mark the occasion a new report, chronicling what campaigners say is decades of multi-agency cover up of state-orchestrated violence, has just been delivered to the leaders of the UK's main political parties and the Home Office. With Labour promising a new investigation if they get into power on July 4, will we finally learn the truth about what happened on June 18,1984? Rob Parsons spoke to Chris Peace from the Orgreave Truth and Justice Campaign. And after visiting Richmond in North Yorkshire last week, Rob goes about 100 miles south west to the seaside resort of Southport. It's the only area of Merseyside that doesn't have a Labour MP - but could that be about to change? And what, if anything, can politicians do to restore the fortunes of seaside resorts who are trying to reinvent themselves? *** Northern Agenda is a Laudable production for Reach.

Peter Moule joined the Police on 22nd December 1975. He went to Ashford Police Training College for his training and his first wage packet was £127 for the month. This was significantly lower than his wages from Eastern Electricity.His first posting was Colchester, and his first duties was to watch the rear gate to ensure security was maintained during the heightened IRA activity. It was during this time he met his Supt and C/Chief Supt, one interaction was positive and the other not so! He vividly remembers being called back into work after nights because he missed a shop burglary After 2 years Pete went to CID at Colchester, and worked with some of Essex Polices' characters. He decided that CID was not his chosen career decided to move to the Force Support Unit based in Chelmsford. He was deployed to the Miners Strike which lasted for 9 months they were billeted at Proteus where the accommodation was basic!To prepare for the miners strike they trained hard . They were initially trained with tennis balls being thrown! The FSU decided that this wasn't sufficient and made their own petrol bombs and swapped the tennis balls for bricks. The first deployment was without any PPE at Orgreave wearing just normal uniform. Pete recalls stopping Fatima Whitbread in Ingrave for driving so slowly. She went on to sign the inside of the hat belonging to Brian “Bill” Bishop before making her way home. Bill was murdered in August 84 following an armed robbery in Frinton On Sea.Pete decided to transfer to the City Of London to undertake more close protection roles. He went onto protect a number of dignitaries from the Royal Family to Heads of States. Pete recounts his deployment with The Queen mother.The City Of London had a odd view of transferees. Its petes view that the City wanted the information from the transferees that City were so clearly lacking!During his time in Essex Pete qualified as a hypnotherapist and he carried this on in the City.

The Political Editors is half a century of politics told by the people who wrote the first draft of history for the Times.Over the festive period we're re-releasing the entire series.Julian Haviland became political editor of the Times in 1981, but his career in journalism began in the 1950s and covered every prime minister from Alec Douglas-Home to Margaret Thatcher. He tells Matt about his recollections of a smug Jim Callaghan, the decent but flawed Harold Wilson, and Thatcher having a stiff drink before her weekly audience with Queen Elizabeth.He also reveals that the Queen was horrified by police conduct at the Battle of Orgreave during the miners' strike, a story he confirmed but was unable to run at the time.

Jeremy Deller is a difficult artist to pin down. He's won the Turner Prize and represented Britain at the Venice Biennale, but you're just as likely to find his work on our streets as in a gallery. In 2016, marking the centenary of the Battle of the Somme, thousands of young men in World War One uniforms appeared unannounced in stations, shopping centres and towns across the UK. Each participant represented a soldier who died on 1 July 1916. Jeremy called this work We're Here Because We're Here. 15 years earlier, he recreated the clash between striking miners and police officers in the Battle of Orgreave. He's toured a rusting car from a street bombing in Iraq around the USA, and in 2012 he created a life-sized inflatable version of Stonehenge which you could bounce on. His musical choices are suitably wide-ranging and sometimes unexpected: taking us on a journey with sounds from across the world, but including Beethoven, Monteverdi and Vaughan Williams.

Winner of the Turner Prize in 2004 and Britain's official representative at the 2013 Venice Biennale, Jeremy Deller is an unconventional artist whose work is as likely to be seen in streets or fields as in museums and galleries. In his work The Battle of Orgreave he restaged a modern civil conflict; a clash between striking miners and police officers. He persuaded a traditional brass band to play Acid House tunes in his work Acid Brass. Perhaps most memorably, on the centenary of the first day of the Battle of they Somme he conjured ghostly platoons of young soldiers all around the UK in his work We're Here because We're Here. Jeremy talks to John Wilson about some of his most formative creative influences. Seeing The Who's rock musical film Tommy as a teenager was an unforgettable experience that revealed to him the power of imaginative vision. A chance encounter with one of his artist heroes Francis Bacon strengthened his interest in art history, and time spent with Andy Warhol in New York encouraged him to think of art as multi-dimensional and unlimited. He also recounts how P J Harvey's album Let England Shake and the play Jerusalem by Jez Butterworth crystallised ideas he was forming about notions of Englishness which he used in both his work at the British pavilion at the 2013 Venice Biennale, and his work to mark the anniversary of the Battle of the Somme.

Ahead of International Workers' Day, Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode explore how the struggle for workers' rights and other movements for change have been depicted on screen. Ellen speaks to artist Jeremy Deller, who in 2001 restaged and filmed perhaps the most pivotal and violent event of the 1984/85 miners' strike - the confrontation between police and picketing miners in South Yorkshire, which has come to be known as the Battle of Orgreave. She also talks to cultural historian Christopher Frayling about some of the most interesting films about the labour movement to emerge in the UK, from The Proud Valley to It's All Right, Jack. And Mark investigates how activism is depicted on screen in the present day, speaking to How To Blow Up A Pipeline director Daniel Goldhaber, and activist Megan Kapler, whose work with advocacy group Prescription Addiction Intervention Now was recently portrayed in documentary All The Beauty And The Bloodshed. This week's Viewing Note comes from film director Lizzie Borden, who shares her favourite recent activist documentaries. Producer: Jane Long A Prospect Street production for BBC Radio 4

Our rights have never been handed to us by kings and queens, they've been fought for and won through protest. In their new book Charged: How the Police Try to Suppress Protest, criminal defence lawyer Matt Foot and documentary filmmaker and investigative journalist Morag Livingstone uncover the lengths to which the police in the UK have gone to suppress those protests.Through eye-witness account and previously unseen documents, they reveal organised police violence against miners at Orgreave, print workers at Warrington, anti–poll tax campaigners, student protesters, and Black Lives Matter activists.But, they tell Laura Kelly and Sophie Dimitrijevic on this week's BetterPod, protestors will not be silenced. They have useful advice for activists on how to continue making their voices heard, in the face of new restrictions brought in by the 2022 Policing Act.BetterPod is brought to you by The Big Issue's Future Generations team.

In this week's episode, please welcome my very first guest from my home country Austria, storyteller, animist, occultist and teacher Bernhard Reicher. Bernhard was born in 1976 and grew up in Upper Styria. As both his parents were working his grandmother was very present in Bernhard's life telling the most wondrous stories and fairy tales to him and his brother on a daily basis. His grandfather was the illegitimate son of an herbalist (and most likely also cunning woman) whose personal grimoire was burned by the local priest after her death without the family's consent. Having been born in the 1920s he played an important role in Bernhard's childhood as well. Being a weird kid Bernhard used to tell, write and enact stories from a very early age on and interacted with other realities as a kind of normality. His grandfather used to walk through the woods with him telling him stories about magical beings living in nature as they went looking for gnomes and soon provided him with books on magic and the occult. 12-years-old Bernhard came into contact with esoteric/spiritual circles as people inclined to these topics were frequent guests in his parents' house. He enjoyed being taken seriously by them and soon was reading Sufi literature and works by Meister Eckhart and exploring altered states of consciousness by meditational practice which ultimately led to mystical experiences requiring to be put into words as a necessity. As of today, Bernhard teaches many different online courses in his magical school, ‘Magieschule', in Graz, and his mission is to break down the dynamics of magic to an easily understandable core essence without being attached to any specific tradition in order to ensure that any student is capable working with magic in a pragmatic way and adapting it to their own style. In this episode we first talk about so-called ‘weird fiction', try to find some kind of definition for it and how it is connected to the notion of being touched by something numinous that stands on its own and how this notion shares a close proximity to ritual work and crossing thresholds while interacting with other worlds. We explore the role of stories and storytelling in magic as well as the idea what power stories do accumulate within their invisible substance, also those that have not been told yet but still linger around us, and how this power can and does actually change people, societies and shape realities. In the second part of this episode Bernhard kindly shares one of his own stories with us and opens up about his future plans for his school involving upcoming courses with Pan and his magical storytelling ways. Music played in this episode You listeners are really terrific! Again, we have music from one of you. And the coincidence was complete when a fervent listener of this podcast contacted me from VIENNA! And then in our exchange he just mentioned he was singing in a rock band. You bet that I jumped on the occasion and asked him and his band to give me their music for the show. And here it is. In fact, it is two bands: the first is called IRON HEEL, but it has stopped existing, and the members have created a new one called ORGREAVE. Both combos will perform here in this episode. Here is ORGREAVE'S press release: 1)  WITCHES AT WAR - Iron Heel (Track starts at 7:06)   2) DISASSEMBLY - Orgreave (Track starts at 52:32) 3) DEAD CHROME - Orgreave (Track starts at 1:36:06) Intro and Outro Musicespecially written and recorded for the Thoth-Hermes Podcast by Chris Roberts

We discuss solidarity, Orgreave, the struggle and winning!

It was by chance that this week's conversation couldn't have been more appropriate for the week in which Martin Luther King day is celebrated. I'm joined at the table by Suzy who firstly shares her lockdown experience and is honest about home schooling. Suzy also talks us through how a small dispute turned into something much bigger and left her questioning her faith in some systems - she also discovered how important justice is.

On June 16, 1976, a turning point in the great struggle to bring down the apartheid system in South Africa began. It was the Soweto Uprising, an uprising of the youth of the biggest and most important township of the South African people. There had been a long period of armed struggle conducted by the armed wing of the ANC but this uprising marked a significant change; the people of Soweto were now using their bodies, their voices and mass disobedience. The man who has written one of the best books on the subject is Dr Julian Brown, Assistant Professor of politics at Witwatersrand University in Johannesburg. He joined Sputnik from South Africa to tell us what happened 44 years ago, when teenagers and children went on a peaceful march and were met by police officers who, without warning, opened fire on them. And on June 18, 1984, the Battle of Orgreave, in Yorkshire, took place, when the British state security ruthlessly confronted the National Union of Miners. It was an event which was to fundamentally change Britain forever. There were broken heads and many more broken hearts, and lots of lying, as the police were forced to compensate scores of people for brutally attacking them and then perjuring themselves in court. The whole affair changed the balance of power in Britain and a police force, which had hitherto been regarded as entirely benign, fair and impartial, was transformed into what was described as a mere instrument of State policy. John Dunn was a miner, a picketer and was also brutally attacked during the strike, which lasted an entire year. He is now an activist in the campaign to get justice for the miners of Orgreave and he joined Sputnik to tell us just what happened on that summer day in 1984.

On this day in 1984, a miner’s union strike in Orgreave, South Yorkshire, devolved into a bloody clash with local policemen.

In the wake of the coronavirus epidemic and shutting down of much of the UK's cultural life, we have decided to bring you a series of interviews with contemporary artists, writers, filmmakers and other cultural figures, conducted via Skype (so apologies for the diminished audio quality), about their practices, the political issues that inspire them and the socio-economic conditions that have shaped their work. In the fourteenth of these Sessions, Juliet talks to English conceptual, video and installation artist Jeremy Deller, who was born in London in 1966. They discussed Deller’s documentary Everybody in the Place: An Incomplete History of Britain 1984-1992 (2019), commissioned by Frieze and shown on BBC Four; ideas around collective joy and acid communism, as well as young people’s access to culture and the music heritage industry; his film with Nick Abrahams about Depeche Mode fans; his Battle of Orgreave (2001), which recreated a pivotal confrontation during the miners’ strike of 1984-85, and helped Deller to win the Turner Prize in 2004; Deller’s poster campaigns for the 2017 General Election and in support of immigrants during the Covid-19 crisis; and what the culture and higher education sectors might look like in the wake of the pandemic. A full list of references for the programme, with links, can be found via our Patreon at www.patreon.com/suite212, and are available to $3 subscribers.

Jeremy Deller is one of Britain’s most celebrated artists, best known for his works We’re Here Because We’re Here and The Battle of Orgreave. Mostly collaborative, his work spans music, documentaries, posters, installations and historical re-enactments. From convincing a brass band to cover techno music for his Acid Brass project, to touring a bombed car from the Iraq War around the US, his work encompasses politics, history and social anthropology. His latest projects include Everybody in the Place, a BBC4 documentary exploring rave culture, and Putin’s Happy, a short film following pro- and anti-Brexit protestors in Parliament Square 2019. Deller won the Turner Prize in 2004 and represented Britain at the Venice Biennale in 2013. He joins Tom Sutcliffe to discuss his career and how he is producing art during the lockdown.

It's taken 25 years and several false starts but Terry Gilliam has at last succeeded in bringing his version of Don Quixote to the big screen. The director discusses his jinxed project, now that he has completed The Man who Killed Don Quixote, which stars Adam Driver and Jonathan Pryce. Samantha Strauss, creator of the hit Australian teen drama series Dance Academy, talks to John Wilson about her new drama series The End starring Harriet Walter and Francis O’Connor which uses dark humour to tell the story of a family’s struggle with assisted dying and the nature of choice. Front Row's Risk season continues. We’re talking to figures across the arts about their greatest career risks. Tonight, artist Jeremy Deller tells us about the risks involved in creating The Battle of Orgreave, his 2001 re-enactment of the violent confrontation between miners and police in 1984. Picasso and Paper: Throughout his career, which spanned eight decades, Pablo Picasso worked with paper – not just drawing and painting on it but manipulating it. He used several printmaking techniques, made collages by cutting and pasting and created sculptures by burning and tearing paper. The Royal Academy’s new exhibition brings together 300 works in a variety of forms, from different periods of the artist’s life, but all created with this single medium. Morgan Quaintance reviews.

Matías Mosquera nos lleva de la historia de Robin Friday a los Estudios Culturales de Richard Hoggart, desde las huelgas de los mineros en Orgreave, al desastre de Hillsborough. Una historia de Hooligans, de causas armadas por una policía y de unos medios de comunicación al servicio del Neoliberalismo y de la mano dura de la Dama de Hierro. Una derrota histórica de la cultura popular, contada mejor que nadie por bandas como The Kinks, The Smiths, The Clash y Sex Pistols. Aventúrense, que a pesar de todo, nunca caminarán solos.

Anna Bitkina is an independent curator, director, and co-founder of The Creative Association of Curators TOK, an art organization founded in 2010 with Maria Veits. Anna lives and works between St Petersburg and The Netherlands, and she curates projects in Russia and different countries in Europe as well as in the US. She sees the curatorial practice as a multidisciplinary process that connects theory, science, philosophy, and politics in order to generate knowledge about the contemporary reality where art has an ability to articulate socio-political conditions and foster social changes. Her curatorial research often lay between historical analysis and the political imaginary where she combines her cultural background with current life experience. In her practice, Anna explores post-Soviet conditions in contemporary Russia and remnants of Soviet history in different social spheres like public space, local governance, educational and youth policies, media landscape. She is also interested in local and global implications caused by the accelerated capitalism in the region. An ongoing public art project ‘Critical Mass’ that she initiated and curates in St Petersburg since 2010 became a platform for conducting such research and developing knowledge on post-socialist conditions. The project is divided into seasons with a focus on different problematics. Four last seasons were conducted in 2011, 2013, 2015 and in 2016-2017. Development of speculative scenarios about possible political horizons in Russia and in the world have been central interests for her projects and projects of TOK. ‘Design Platform’ (2012-2014) and ‘School Museum: Creating History Together’ (2014-2017) conducted in one of the schools in St Petersburg aim at researching pedagogic conditions of the Russian system of education, its spatial and architectural structures and governmental strategies in shaping young citizens. Such projects by TOK like ‘Propaganda News Machine: Creating Multiple Realities in the Media’ (2016, Flux Gallery, New York City) and  ‘States of Control’ (2017, HIAP Gallery, Helsinki) and aim at stimulating critical thinking around the topics of information manipulation, the history of propaganda, post-truth and constructing news during times of political unrest. ‘States of Control’ is scheduled to be presented at the Weisman Museum of Art in Minneapolis in March 2020. A research-based project ‘The Russian Bar: Why Relocate? New approaches to neighborliness and interchange’ (2018-2019, series of events in various locations in Helsinki) is analyzing the conditions of global migration with a close focus on the ‘new wave’ of emigration of Russians to Finland that is since 2011 was formed due to radical changes of the political situation in Russia. In 2014 Anna was a local contributor for the public program of Manifesta 10 with Jeremy Deller’s project ‘The Battle of Orgreave’ and with a new performance ‘Debates on Division: When the Private Becomes Public’ by artist Gluklya (Natalya Pershina-Yakimanskaya). During 2015-2019 the performance ‘Debates on Division’ was conducted at Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam – SMBA, at the Creative Time Summit in Washington DC at the Lincoln Theater and at RAM Gallery and Deichmanske Bibliotek in Grünerløkka in Oslo. In March 2019 the project was presented for the 5th time in the Center for Fine Arts BOZAR. Anna was a research fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in Berlin in 2013 -2014 and a finalist of the EUNIC competition for Russian curators with a curatorial placement in London at Artangel in 2014. Among other projects she curated are exhibitions for the 3 Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art (2009) and for the 2 Moscow International Biennale for Young Art. She also was an initiator and co-curator of a major exhibition in Russia of artists from Nordiс region: ‘Nordic Art Today: Conceptual Debts, Broken Dreams, New Horizons’ (2011, St Petersburg), co-curated with Kari Brandtzaeg,

The Turner Prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller is perhaps best known for We’re Here Because We’re Here, a moving and powerful memorial to the Battle of the Somme, and The Battle of Orgreave – a re-enactment of the confrontation between police and pickets at the height of the miners’ strike. Deller doesn’t paint, draw or sculpt and his work encompasses film, photography and installations. At school his creative endeavours were not always appreciated, and at 13 he was asked to leave the art class. His lifelong love of history was ignited by childhood trips to museums with his father, and is evident in the subjects he addresses, from Stonehenge, which he re-created as a giant bouncy castle, to William Morris. He managed to meet Andy Warhol in London in 1986 and went to spend two formative weeks at Warhol’s New York City studio, the Factory. The experience crystallised in Deller the belief that art can come in many forms and that an artist can create their own world of ideas. His memorial to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Peterloo Massacre will be unveiled in August 2019.

Mortal Engines is a new sci-fi fantasy film co-written and produced by Peter Jackson, based on the first in a series of young adult steampunk novels by Philip Reeve. In a post-apocalyptic future, mobile cities on huge caterpillar tracks roam the landscape, consuming smaller towns for their resources. Starring Hera Hilmar as Hester Shaw, the film is the directorial debut of long-time Jackson collaborator Christian Rivers. Katie Popperwell reviews.In a year when housing has risen up the political agenda, Richard Gregory, artistic director of Quarantine theatre company, and performance artist Grace Surman discuss Tenancy, part of a Manchester-led international project which explores the changing nature of cities by artists taking over a residential home for a year.The work of the Chinese photographer Ren Hang found admirers worldwide and was championed by Ai Weiwei, though the Chinese authorities were less enamoured. Almost two years after his death at the age of 29 and with the first show of his work in the UK premiering at Open Eye Gallery in Liverpool, Laura Robertson, critical writer-in-residence at the gallery discusses Ren Hang's significance. When Martin Jenkinson was made redundant from the Sheffield steel industry in 1979, it was the start of a four decade-long career as a professional photographer whose first subject was his adopted city. His pictures of the 1984 – 85 miners' strike were widely published in the national press. Years later they would catch the eye of Turner-prizewinning artist Jeremy Deller who worked with Jenkinson on his recreation of The Battle of Orgreave. Art critic Orla Foster reviews the new retrospective of Jenkinson's photographs at Weston Park Museum in Sheffield.Presenter: Samira Ahmed Producer: Ekene Akalawu

Episode note:In this episode, Chloé Hazelwood, an art writer/independent curator, shared her knowledge about two unique exhibitions that she recently visited at Art Project Australia and the City Library of Melbourne. One was 'All Our Relations' (to 24/11); the other:'Weave Movement Theatre 21 years' (to 15/11). Both exhibitions featured the artworks made by the artists with disabilities. They took Chloé to a deep emotional and joyful state. From Chloé's vivid and detailed descriptions about the objects and images in the shows, Sarah and I imagined the exhibitions, and were touched by the naïvety and the direct self expression in these works. Following Chloé, Sarah talked about a past exhibition 'State of the union'. It was shown at Ian Potter Museums of Art, the University of Melbourne. In the exhibition, Sarah was attracted by Jeremy Deller's video work titled 'The battle of Orgreave (an injury to one is an injury to all)'. Through discussing all sorts of moments in the video, we, together, intended to unpack this complex and affective artwork. Again, I hope our discussions in this episode will interest you and bring you some new perspectives in the art. >The related links:Two speakers:Sarah Rudledgehttp://sarahrudledge.comChloé Hazelwoodhttp://chloehazelwood.comThe artists and exhibitions mentioned by ChloéArts project Australiahttps://www.artsproject.org.auAll our relations27/10 - 24/11/2018Shepparton Art museumhttp://sheppartonartmuseum.com.auRamesh Mario Nithiyer (artist)https://www.ramesh-nithiyendran.comChris O’Brien (artist)https://www.artsproject.org.au/artist/christopher-obrien/Weave Movement Theatre 21 years24/10 - 15/11/2018https://www.melbourne.vic.gov.au/community/libraries/whats-on/exhibitions/pages/weave-movement-retrospective.aspxThe city of Melbourne librarieshttps://www.melbourne.vic.gov.au/community/libraries/By Sarah:Ian Potter Museum of art, the university of Melbournehttp://www.art-museum.unimelb.edu.auState of the union24/7-28/10/2018http://www.art-museum.unimelb.edu.au/exhibitions/past-exhibitions/fromyear/2007/toyear/2018/exhib-date/2018-07-24/exhib/state-of-the-unionJeremy Deller (artist)The battle of Orgreave (an injury to one is an injury to all) 2001http://www.jeremydeller.orgAlicia Frankovich (artist)http://www.aliciafrankovich.com/biography

From the Industrial Revolution to the end of the 20th Century, huge swathes of The North revolved around coal and heavy industry. From Woodhorn Colliery to Jarrow Town Hall and Orgreave, the workers and the communities left a profound mark on their buildings and their landscape.

Amie told us about an exciting new art space in Melbourne. It's called Pavement Projects and located at 122 Hoddle street, Abbotsford. A Melbourne based curator and artist: Kate Davis is managing this space. For this episode of Three Bellybuttons, Amie shared her experience of seeing the current exhibition at Pavement Projects. It was Lara Chamas's exhibition titled Skippy gets burnt and converts to islam. Amie's detailed description and research about Lara's works brought an interesting discussion on the visual presentation of the Australian identity, the Skippy as the icon of the white Australian culture, and Australian muslim community.  We all enjoyed learning a new English slang 'Turnt' from the title of this exhibition. Following Amie, Eric Jong, in his second time visiting Three bellybuttons, extended the discussion that he had at the class of Master of Fine Art in the Victorian College of the Arts, and asked us to share opinions on the idea about "the validity of documentary" in art space and how the art creates availability of a critical space to open conversations in public. During the discussion, he talked about magical realism and the film the act of killing. He mis-said the directors name as Robert Oppenheimer - but it is actually Joshua Oppenheimer. When we talked about the authenticity and morality in the process of art-making, we exchanged our thoughts on recent popular topic about de-colonisation in the art world. There were so many good points and valuable questions in this episode conversation. I hope you will enjoy listening and be inspired.Pavement Projects will hold its first public event: Finissage: Skippy gets turnt and converts to Islam, Lara Chamas on 30 June.

What attitude should the labour movement take to the police? Does the way strikes have been policed in the past give us some clues about the police’s fundamental role? With the Labour Party adopting an explicitly pro-cop position, distributing leaflets shaped like police helmets calling for 20,000 more police on the streets, we argue for the labour movement to take a more cautious, and ultimately hostile, to the role of the police, who we believe ultimately exist to defend the power of capital. Most of this episode is taken up with an interview with Kevin Horne, a striking miner in the 1984/5 strike andparticipant in the “Battle of Orgreave”, and Barbara Jackson, who struck in 84/85 as part of the National Union of Mineworkers’ white collar section, and later founded the Orgreave Truth and Justice Campaign (OTJC). Find out more about the OTJC here: https://otjc.org.uk/ This episode also includes a special one-off feature, “Four Ways to Make the Next TUC Demo Better”. Send us your suggestions for additional ideas. Hope to see some of you at Ideas for Freedom on 23-24 June, where Labour Days will be hosting a panel on “the new New Unionism?”, with speakers from the Picturehouse cinema workers’ strike and other disputes. Ellie will also be giving a talk on “what should Labour do on crime and policing?”, which will extend the discussions from this month’s episode.

We were invited by Woodhorn Museum near Ashington, Northumberland to deliver a session as part of the Northumberland Miner's Picnic on 10th June 2017 that, working with visitors, would offer a response to the Jeremy Deller: Battle of Orgreave temporary exhibition at Woodhorn. http://www.experiencewoodhorn.com/jeremy-deller-the-battle-of-orgreave-(an-injury-to-one-is-an-injury-to-all-2001/ We selected 40 tracks from the Top 100 UK singles of 1984 and used them and lyrics to prompt people about life, culture, identity, heritage and experience of the area. We recorded over 20 people on the day who attended the picnic and live in the area; young and old from 6 to 65. Thanks to Andrea, Anita and Liz at Woodhorn.

Helen Mort talks to Maurice Riordan about writing and the problem of observation; Jeremy Deller's Battle of Orgreave and her poem ‘Scab'; writing on the run; neuroscience, Norman MacCaig, John Burnside and Paul Muldoon, and how writing her first novel is both similar to and different from writing poems. Helen is a five times winner of Foyle Young Poets of the Year. Her first collection, Division Street (Chatto & Windus) was shortlisted for the Costa Prize and the T.S. Eliot Prize and, in 2014, won the Fenton Aldeburgh Prize. She also reads her poem ‘Ablation'.

John Wilson talks to one of the great voices of all time, Placido Domingo. Carey Mulligan discusses her return to the stage in David Hare's Skylight. Pigment is crushed and paint mixed in a new National Gallery exhibition called Making Colour. And artistic interpretations of the battle of Orgreave 30 years on. Samira Ahmed talks to Don Johnson about his new film and Razia Iqbal is joined on stage at the Hay Festival by Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison. Kirsty Lang hears from veteran documentary maker Roger Graef and how cubism and optical art were deployed by the British navy in WW1.

A new exhibition, Making Colour at the National Gallery in London, charts and analyses the variety of raw materials used by artists across the centuries to provide colour in paintings and other works of art, Shahidha Bari reviews. 30 years ago this week, a protest at the Orgreave coking plant turned into the most notorious confrontation of the 1984-85 miners' strike. Artist Jeremy Deller, poet Helen Mort and playwright Beth Steel discuss why the events of June 18th 1984 proved such fertile ground artistic response. And following the news that Harrison Ford has injured his ankle on the set of Star Wars, Adrian Wootton discusses how film-makers work around cast injuries.

With cabinet papers relating to the 1984 miners' strike due to be published tomorrow, Jenny Chryss examines growing calls for a public inquiry into allegations of widespread falsification of evidence by the police against some of the miners who ended up facing charges. On June 18 1984, scores of pickets and police officers were injured during one of the bloodiest events of the year long strike. Protesters at Orgreave were trying to stop coke from the plant being transported to the British Steel mill at Scunthorpe. Ninety three people were arrested that day with some charged with riot, which carries a potential life sentence. However, nearly four months into the trial of fifteen of the accused pickets the case against them collapsed. Thirty years on, it's alleged that some police officers manipulated the evidence given in court and colluded over their statement writing or were told what to write. But no officer has ever been charged. And allegations about police malpractice spread beyond Orgreave. The programme hears from one former miner who says he was beaten almost unconscious during a picket at Frickley Colliery in West Yorkshire and then charged with a public order offence on the basis of falsified evidence. The case against him was later dropped. Campaigners and some MPs are now calling for a public inquiry and are drawing parallels between these allegations and similar revelations about the manipulation of evidence after the Hillsborough football disaster five years later. The Hillsborough Independent Panel revealed that more than a hundred and sixty South Yorkshire police statements had been altered after the disaster in which ninety six Liverpool fans died in April 1989.
