Massie-Blomfield considers the work of artists, writers, musicians, and filmmakers--such as Pablo Picasso, Gran Fury, the Velvet Underground, Alexis Wright, Claude Cahun, and Rabindranath Tagore--alongside collectives, communities, and amateurs who have used protest sites as their canvas and spearheaded movements that have transformed history. Deeply inspiring, it is a powerful testament to the idea that art is not only a salve in the bleakest of times but also can change the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amber Massie-Blomfield\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1324078758\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781324078753\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
