Routledge Art and Activism in Systemic Crisis - Routledge Research

This Routledge Research volume examines how artistic activism evolved following neoliberal repression from the 1980s onwards, exploring the diverse strategies artists employ to confront global systemic crises. The book traces connections between contemporary artistic movements and the civil rights-era activism of the 1960s and 70s, offering both historical perspective and new conceptual frameworks. Through dialogue with artists and their work, the volume demonstrates how creative communities are reimagining political horizons and building alternative forms of social engagement in response to economic and political upheaval. Ideal for scholars, students and practitioners interested in the intersection of art, politics and social change.
