ARTS425

DIY, Democracy and Dissent focuses on the history of artist response and role in political and social movements in the 20th and 21st centuries. We will look at understanding artistic and social movements from relational aesthetics to relational society as well as the tools used by graffiti and street artists, inventors, and activists to participate in the marketplace of ideas as well as our general economy. Public response to guerilla activism will be explored through the lenses of geography, demographics, history and culture and the outcomes will be analyzed.
