“Start making. Start being the change you want to see in this world.” – De Nichols

From the psychedelic typography used in ‘Make Love Not War’ posters of the 60s, to the solitary raised fist, take a long, hard look at some of the most memorable and striking protest artwork from across the world and throughout history. With an emphasis on design, analyse each artwork to understand how colour, symbolism, technique, typography and much more play an important role in communication, and learn about some of the most influential historical movements.

Tips and activities are also included to get you started on making some of your own protest art.

Guided by activist, lecturer and speaker De Nichol’s powerful own narrative and stunningly illustrated by a collaboration of young artists from around the world, including Diana Dagadita, Olivia Twist, Molly Mendoza, Raul Oprea and Diego Becas, Art of Protest is as inspiring as it is empowering.

    Our young people live in an increasingly visual world – branding, advertising, and online images are a part of everyday life. The ability to decode and critically analyse images is key to becoming aware of when art is seeking manipulate your emotions or thoughts in some way.

    This fascinating book explores how typography, colour, and symbolism have been used by protests and causes across the world to powerful effect. It also guides readers through some of the most memorable protest works and most influential movements in history, whilst sharing tips and strategies for creating your own mindful protests.

    The binding is meant to be innovative and edgy. No, it’s cheap and unfinished.
    The contents may be as fantastic as other reviewers enthuse. I’m afraid to open it however, as the whole thing feels like it will fall apart once it’s opened.
    Waste of money.
