LESSON 4 · Art vs Power: The Reformation

- Street art and graffiti skip the gallery and meet people on the street
- Performance makes protest physical and hard to ignore
- Memes are the protest prints of the internet age
Picasso painted Guernica once. The world has reached for that image ever since.
