Susan N. Platt: Around the World in Twenty-Five Years, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Spanning from central China to the southern tip of Latin America, the artists discussed here address crucial issues of war, feminism, climate, detention, migration, and, above all, human rights. They create room-sized installations with multimedia projections as well as traditional paintings and sculptures. The thematic exhibitions such as the themes of detention, human rights and social justice discussed in the first section make the international connections obvious. Within different cultural formations, and whether the audience is national or international, these artists speak to us about survival on our planet. They address many topics within that umbrella, but all speak to a sense of preserving history and tradition, and finding ways to end homelessness, racism, migration, and, above all, that ancient and contemporary destroyer-war. This book is an homage to all those courageous voices.
