Streic 84-85 Strike is now open at Amgueddfa Cymru.
A powerful and evocative exhibition, it is a testimony of why museums matter. A space that can bring people together through conversations about the past, present and future.
They are the public spaces we need more than ever before.

I attended the launch of Streic! 84–85 Strike! at Amgueddfa Cymru, marking 40 years since the Miners’ Strike. The exhibition’s stories, photos, and protest artefacts make the resilience & struggle of Welsh mining communities tangible – even for someone like me, without Welsh or mining connections.

This is almost unbelievable from Johnson. A slightly bizarre rant which says nothing about cars, or 15 years of Tory austerity and disinvestment, or growing (right wing) intolerance of young people. Would like to see what the streets he was playing on looked like.
“Children don’t play out anymore” says ex-PM who, during covid, stopped children from playing outside whilst encouraging adults to go to pubs. Somewhere in this latest weird rant there’s a nugget of truth about children’s health - but let’s talk about the issue seriously.
