PROTEST ART (PB)

An essential guide to how the power of art has been harnessed to push for change across the modern world, from the struggle for universal suffrage to Black Lives Matter. Each of the nine chapters addresses different ways in which art has been used for political transformation, taking in humour and satire, performance and propaganda, art's relationships to institutions, the media, conflict and the state, and its uses as a weapon, a galvanizing force and a way of refusing to accept the status quo.
