New exhibit alert! Teamsters, Turtles, and Beyond: The Legacy of the Seattle WTO Protests opens at MOHAI on November 29 🐢 In late November 1999, the World Trade Organization (WTO) conference sparked one of the largest political demonstrations in Seattle history. The protests rocked the city for a week and cast a spotlight on issues ranging from environmental protection and labor rights to international diplomacy and free speech. On the occasion of the 25th anniversary, this exhibit, guest curated by University of Washington History Professor James Gregory, revisits the “Battle of Seattle” through key artifacts, immersive images, and powerful statements from the people who were present. From the origins of the WTO to the legacy of these events on activism, policing, and global trade policy, visitors are invited to consider multiple perspectives and reflect on their relationship to democracy—an issue at the heart of the WTO protests of continuing relevance today.
