Description
Protest Art: A Guide to Harnessing the Power of Art for Political Change This book explores how artists have joined forces with radical political movements to foster change throughout history. From the struggle for universal suffrage to contemporary activism, Jessica Lack examines the ways in which art has been used to effect transformation. The works and movements discussed in this guide span the globe, highlighting the diverse ways in which art has been employed as a tool for social change. Examples include the revolutionary aesthetic of Emory Douglas for the Black Panthers, Nandalal Bose's iconic portrait of Mahatma Gandhi, and Chilean direct action work that contributed to the collapse of General Pinochet's government. Through nine chapters, Lack delves into various aspects of art's relationship with politics, including humour and satire, performance and propaganda, and the role of art in institutions and conflict.
