Resistance will open at Margate's Turner Contemporary and the gallery's director says it will show how "photography has really acted as a kind of catalyst for change" in the UK.
Clarrie Wallis, who first worked with McQueen on Year 3, his school photo project at Tate Britain, said Resistance is a continuation of the artist and director's concentration on telling untold stories. "It's a portrait of Britain," she said. "It's understanding the shape of Britain, how we are, where we are. Steve has a commitment of bringing marginalised histories into the mainstream."
The exhibition starts in the year 1903 with images of the Suffragettes that were published by a supportive picture editor at the Daily Mirror, and finishes in 2003 with the Iraq war protests - the largest ever seen in the UK, as 1.5 million people took to the streets of London.
