ACTS OF RESISTANCE (HB)

An exploration of artists who have treated the protest site as their canvas and contributed to movements that have transformed history - from the musicians in Auschwitz to the four-year Siege of Sarajevo, from ACT UP’s 1989 invasion of the New York Stock Exchange to the Niger Delta and indigenous communities in Bolivia. Includes stories and artists from across the globe, including Susan Sontag, Ken Saro-Wiwa, and Claude Cahun. An urgent reminder that art can make human life more bearable and be a means of surviving the bleakest circumstances.
