The Art of Protest

Więcej o książce

Against an increasingly polarizing political backdrop, The Art of Protest takes a visual journey through more than one hundred years of social protest. From the early twentieth century through to the 1960s and 1970s - considered by many the heyday of uprisings - to contemporary social media activism, this illustrative history features iconic posters from world-renowned artists, including from the Amnesty International archives, as well as more spontaneous ephemera from short-lived print collectives and street activists. With a foreword from celebrated artist and activist Anish Kapoor, The Art of Protest showcases more than one hundred posters. It covers key campaigns such as women's liberation, nuclear disarmament, the civil rights movement, climate change, AIDS activism and Black Lives Matter, revealing artists who have pushed boundaries, giving voice to the marginalized, and railed against those who seek to deny people their rights to peace and equality
