James Fox - Rights, Riots and Routes

Type:Art

Helmshore Mills Textile Museum, Holcombe Road, Helmshore, Lancashire, BB4 4NP
Now my Lads

The tension between the industrialisation of cotton manufacturing and traditional cottage industry is the starting point for James Fox’s new work that explores the history of protest and punishment via the Lancashire loombreaker riots of 1826. The installation at Helmshore Mill includes James’ trademark hard-hitting embroideries and prints plus a new film collaboration with Maxine Peake presenting the tragic continuum of women’s experience of the criminal justice system over two centuries.

Co-commission with Mid Pennine Arts as part of their Pendle Radicals programme
