Directions:
Many artists working today are motivated by a sense of social responsibility to comment on injustices that exist in our culture. They apply this motivation to their artistic practice in a variety of ways. The video in this week’s module is an episode of Art in the Twenty First Century, titled “Protest.” It examines the ways in which contemporary artists picture and question war, express outrage, and empathize with the suffering of others. Whether bearing witness to tragic events, presenting alternative histories, or engaging in activism, the artists interviewed in Protest use visual art as a means to provoke personal transformations and question social revolutions.
