Marc Bolan, 1972
"Revolution is like Saturn: she devours her own children."
Over the course of 1989, from June to November, and on into 1990, the cold-war status quo was radically brought to an end by a series of revolutions and political transformations that swept across Central and Eastern Europe. From the shipyards of Gdańsk, via Berlin's Brandenburg Gate and Prague's Wenceslaus Square, to the boulevards of Bucharest, the 'people's democracies' of the region were brought face to face with the democratic will of their own people on their own city streets and squares. Children of the Revolution 1989 - 2009 is a series of events taking place this year London, twenty years on. Through these events we invite you to join us in examining these revolutionary happenings and the legacy that they have left to their children. In public discussions that will range from philosophical speculation on the idea of revolution to careful analysis of what made the changes of 1989 possible and a reconstruction of the visual landscape of the experience of those changes, we shall be looking back into the past to ask a question that points into the future: Have the children of the revolution been devoured, or do they remain unfooled, ready to change the world once more?
