Overview
2015 marks the 30th anniversary of the Battle of the Beanfield - a
brutal police crackdown on the annual Stonehenge Free Festival. Called
away from policing the miners' strike to uphold a new injunction around
the Stones, officers took the tactics of Orgreave to a field in
Wiltshire - battering and injuring new age travellers, making
mass-arrests and destroying their mobile homes. Performance makers
Breach, and Guardian award-winning video artist Dorothy Allen-Pickard
present a multimedia show set between the 1985 and 2015 summer solstice
celebrations, reflecting on state violence, civic freedom and cultural
heritage.
