So, for our final exhibition, we wanted to have an impact as we had been trying to do with our protests. So, we planned to hide behind the cathedral, which is near to our exhibition site at the clock (we took a trip beforehand to see where would be good). We wanted to do this so that nobody would see us and guess what was coming. We waiting for about 5 minutes after meeting time so that our peers and tutors might be wondering where we were. Then, we came round the corner chanting WHAT DO WE WANT!? ... An exhibition!! .. WHEN DO WE WANT IT?! ..Now!! with our placards and boards in hand.
This is a picture of us waiting near the cathedral, all set with our individual t-shirts that we each made with a different protest (the one that matches our main final photograph).

Saturday 5th March - our third and final protest..
We aimed to make this our best protest as it was the final and we wanted to go out with a bang!
We had about 15 people in the end doing it, which was better as it had more of an impact. However, it rained and a lot of people (the public) were just keeping their heads down and rushing to get where they were going and therefore, I think if it hadn't been raining then it would've been better.
Overall, I think our protests were successful. We got some brilliant reactions from people, and hopefully got people thinking ( as most people are so used to seeing big protests about political topics, e.g. student fees) and we got some great photographs from the events too, which we will use for our exhibition on the 9th March. This will be held, again, at the Eastgate clock, and we will put the photographs on placards and on a big board for more of an impact.
