Excerpt
Book review of Visual Activism in the 21st Century: Art, Protest and Resistance in an Uncertain World by Stephanie Hartle & Darcy White, Bloomsbury Publishing Arts, 2022
'In the introduction of Visual Activism in the 21st Century, editors Stephanie Hartle and Darcy White state that the book questions the association between the visual and activism. Hartle and White wish to contribute to ‘a growing understanding of cultural and global differences concerning the nature of the relationship of art to the visual elements of activism’. By focusing on art and activism, the book attempts to add to recent discussions about the political potential of art.'
