The Pussy Riot protest, and the subsequent heavy handed treatment
of the protestors, grabbed the headlines, but this was not an
isolated instance of art being noticeably critical of the regime.
As this book, based on extensive original research, shows, there
has been gradually emerging over recent decades a significant
counter-culture in the art world which satirises and ridicules the
regime and the values it represents, at the same time putting
forward, through art, alternative values. The book traces the
development of art and protest in recent decades, discusses how art
of this kind engages in political and social protest, and provides
many illustrations as examples of art as protest. The book
concludes by discussing how important art has been in facilitating
new social values and in prompting political protests.
