A Brief History of Protest Art

Art historian and curator Aindrea Emelife's A Brief History of Protest Art is a visual journey through 100 years of images of protest.

Art has always declared its dissatisfaction against the status quo. Throughout history, artists have used their art to criticize and protest a range of injustices and inequalities, oppression, and violence. Their art is an act of defiance, but more importantly, it has given a voice to the voiceless and the marginalized.
