“The Arts of Resistance” is an exhibition of two and three dimensional visual art, installation, performance, poetry, song and music exploring art-making in the spectrum of social commentary and political action. The belief that artists are historically proven as intrinsic to the change and progression of culture and politics in ways spanning from contemplation to propaganda, is central to the works in the show.
