This exhibition takes an international, inter-generational and inter-disciplinary look at the way artists comment on, perceive and provoke political action. From the October Revolution through Tiananmen Square to the Arab Spring, the artists in this show have appropriated primary and secondary source material from film, photographs and newspapers in order to create compelling visual images. They have explored a variety of methodologies including painting, collage, printmaking, photography, excision, and digital manipulation. Come see this exhibition and join in the dialogue these prominent artists have initiated.
A display of agitprop graphic art In the Black and White Gallery East complements the exhibition.
