Description
In today's world of overwhelming images and information, can art still have power? Nato Thompson explores this question in his latest work, examining the impact of social media and consumer capitalism on socially engaged art and activism. Thompson investigates how artists and activists are finding new ways to make a voice and create change in a world where authenticity is increasingly difficult to discern. He highlights the innovative work of contemporary artists and institutions that empower their communities to reimagine power. From cooperative housing to anarchist infoshops, Thompson reveals the ways in which art today can inspire innovation and dramatic transformation.
