Description

Takedown: Art, Power and Identity in the Digital Age By Farah Nayeri, published by Astra Publishing House in 2022. The art world is grappling with difficult questions about identity, power, and ethics. For centuries, censorship has been imposed from above, but today it can also come from below, as social media campaigns and grassroots movements challenge the status quo. Artists, critics, galleries, and museums are re-evaluating their roles to promote greater diversity and inclusivity. In this book, Farah Nayeri explores these issues with exclusive interviews and thought-provoking questions. She examines topics such as sex, religion, gender, ethics, animal rights, and race, and asks what it means for artists, critics, and audiences in the digital age. With a critical eye, Nayeri provides tools to navigate the complexities of contemporary art. By shedding light on these pressing issues, Takedown offers a nuanced understanding of the art world's shifting landscape.
