Across 336 pages, it looks at the increasingly tangled relationship between art, politics, and activism, documenting how contemporary artists have responded to climate change, migration, inequality, social justice movements, political upheaval, and the general human tendency to disagree rather dramatically about how the world should work. Posters, installations, public art, photography, and other forms become ways of questioning power, occupying space, starting conversations, and occasionally making people extremely uncomfortable. The result is part art book, part cultural document, and a compelling reminder that art has never been particularly good at staying politely on the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Art of Protest\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdited by Gestalten, Francesca Gavin, and Alain Bieber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContemporary art, activism, politics, and visual culture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores the relationship between artists and major political and social issues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures work across a range of artistic mediums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e336 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 12\" x 9.8\" x 1.3\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublication date: February 1, 2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Publisher:  Gestalten\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGestalten is a Berlin-based publisher making books about design, travel, architecture, art, food, culture, and the various interesting things humans do when they leave the house.
