Synopsis

What can be said for the radical aesthetics and the performativity, whether visual or gestural, that have become central to the many progressive protests in recent years? The Protest and The Recuperation ponders that question with a survey of artistic perspectives on, and responses to, global protests that have taken place during the past decade from the Arab Spring through Covid-19, as well as the recuperative strategies of resistance.
