Protestors across the world use aesthetics in order to communicate
their ideas and ensure their voices are heard. This book looks at
protest aesthetics, which we consider to be the visual and
performative elements of protest, such as images, symbols,
graffiti, art, as well as the choreography of protest actions in
public spaces. Through the use of social media, protestors have
been able to create an alternative space for people to engage with
politics that is more inclusive and participatory than traditional
politics. This volume focuses on the role of visual culture in a
highly mediated environment and draws on case studies from Europe,
Thailand, South Africa, USA, Argentina, and the Middle East in
order to demonstrate how protestors use aesthetics to communicate
their demands and ideas. It examines how digital media is harnessed
by protestors and argues that all protest aesthetics are
performative and communicative.
