Seven items to discover in LSE Library exhibition "Resistance, rights and refuge:Britain and Chile 50 years after the Chilean coup"

Tanya Harmer and Gloria Miqueles first had the idea of an exhibition to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Chilean coup in the summer of 2022 over coffee in Lincoln’s Inn Fields. Over the next year, the idea took on a life of its own. Their research in LSE’s archives and library collections and the Documenting Chile Archive at the University of East London’s Living Refugee Archive revealed Chilean refugees’ experiences coming to Britain as well as the enormity, creativity and breadth of the British solidarity movement that developed after 1973.
