Art and Resistance

Natalie Hopkinson’s book A Mouth Is Always Muzzled: Six Dissidents, Five Continents, and the Art of Resistance is a meditation in the spirit of John Berger and bell hooks on art as protest, contemplation, and beauty in politically perilous times.  Jessica Nydia Pabón-Colón’s Graffiti Grrlz reconsiders the intersections of feminism, hip hop, and youth performance and establishes graffiti art as a game that anyone can play.
