Hidden Project by Red Saunders
Bull House is hosting a collection of images from Red Saunders’ The Hidden Project — a powerful series of radical photographic tableaux that bring history’s overlooked heroes into the light.
Red Saunders, an acclaimed artist and photographer, is known for blending his creative practice with a lifelong commitment to cultural, musical, and political activism. A founding member of Rock Against Racism, Red’s work has consistently challenged injustice and celebrated the power of collective action.
The Hidden Project reimagines pivotal moments in the long struggle for democracy and social justice — from the Peasants’ Revolt (1381) and the Women Levellers’ Movement (1647) to the Swing Riots (1830) and London Chartists (1842). Each striking scene is meticulously staged and lit, brought to life with the help of local community participants. You’ll also spot a certain Thomas Paine, out on his horse, working as an Excise Officer.
Join us as Bull House shines a light on the radicals, dissenters, and visionaries too often written out of history.
Entry is free. Posters and postcards will be available to purchase in the shop.
