Welcome to People's Palace Projects

People's Palace Projects creates performances, workshops, debates and publications that push the boundaries of where, how and why art matters. Founded in 1999 and based in the historic East London building of the People's Palace at Queen Mary University of London, we conceive large scale, multi-faceted projects authored and shaped around ideas and collaborations motivated by the power of art to progress social justice and change.
