Join artist Ellie Harrison for a short talk about her Bus Regulation: The Musical trilogy as part of the AoMO2022 'Art as Activism' conference in Liverpool.
Bus Regulation: The Musical – art, activism & the fight for better buses in Manchester, Liverpool and Glasgow
Glasgow-based artist and activist Ellie Harrison introduces 'Bus Regulation: The Musical', her epic trilogy inspired by the 1980s hit musical 'Starlight Express'. Harrison's musicals feature performers on roller skates to re-enact the history of public transport provision in three of the UK's biggest city-regions.
Presented in collaboration with local campaign groups in Manchester (Sept 2019), Glasgow (April 2022) and Liverpool (coming late 2022), the musicals have helped create awareness and support for the need to re-regulate buses in order to provide the fully-integrated and affordable public transport networks each region urgently needs to address chronic poverty/inequality and tackle carbon emissions.
