Beginning with Picasso’s Guernica, the independent curator and art historian Emelife embarks on a visual journey across eight decades of artists’ responses to the most vital political and social realities of their day. From global conflicts, inequality, the Aids epidemic, LGBTQ+ rights, the Black Lives Matter movement and the climate crisis, Emelife explores the work of over 50 artists whose art has spoken up for powerless minorities while speaking out against incursions into our human right. 'A Brief History of Protest Art' reminds us of the art’s potential to influence, condemn, elevate, inspire, and rally against the status quo.
