The revolutions that began to sweep across countries in North
Africa and the Middle East in December 2010 - like other
revolutions in diverse modern historical contexts - have often been
articulated, internally and externally, in black and white terms of
success or failure, liberation or constraint, for or against,
friend or enemy. These internal and external cliches are
perpetuated by what Jellel Gasteli has called 'icons of
revolutionary exoticism'. Paying particular attention to works from
the Tunisian Revolution of 2011, this book examines a diverse body
of art including photography, sculpture, graffiti, performance,
video and installation by over twenty-five artists. Examining how
art can evoke the idea of revolution, Art and the Arab Spring
reveals a new way of understanding these revolutions, their
profound cultural impact, and of the meaning of the term
'revolution' itself.
