‘Million Words Against Fascism’ is an international exhibition tour from the Solidarity Park project that explores the anti-fascist history of the 1930s Spanish Civil War. It features installations on local people, stories, and international volunteers from Hull and across the world, alongside contemporary artistic responses from students, artists, and the wider community on the relevance of this global conflict today.The main installation features 1,000 student artworks from across Europe, expanding by 1,000 more created during its seven-month tour. It is complemented by original contributions from spoken-word and international artists.
