EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from July 1972, we witness the incredible determination and creativity of over 450 children at a Birmingham school. Faced with the alarming news that their beloved King Kong might be taken away, these young minds decided to take matters into their own hands. With unwavering dedication, they joined forces to construct an impressive 7ft replica of the iconic ape. This snapshot captures a moment in time when art became a powerful means for self-expression and protest for these youngsters. Their sculpture stands tall as a symbol of unity and resilience against adversity. The intricate details on their creation showcase not only their artistic talents but also their deep attachment to this larger-than-life character. With hearts full of hope, these determined children plan to present their masterpiece as a replacement to the Lord Mayor himself. This act serves as both an act of defiance against those threatening King Kong's removal and a testament to the power of imagination within each child. As we delve into this nostalgic image from the 1970s, let us celebrate the indomitable spirit displayed by these young artists who refused to accept defeat. May it serve as a reminder that even in uncertain times, creativity can pave new paths forward while preserving cherished memories for generations yet unborn.
