What about Activism? (Sternberg Press)

This book is a discussion amongst curators, artists, and art theorists on how to engage audiences with creative forms of protest and innovative ways of advocacy through artistic expression. In a social media driven world with politics of shock, coming from situations of rising populism and coercive governmental oversight, twenty leading curators and art thinkers come together and offer the insights from case studies on the effects of art in civic engagement. Along with these case studies, they will dive into the work of others as well as their own, brining along historical and social theory driven perspectives that will give direction for the producers of culture to engage audiences wholly with the goal of cutting through PR and advertising mires — ultimately to drive people to participate in change in today’s fierce politically charged world with dire struggles.
