Matterings: justice and more

We explore art in our region, art done by activists all over, and the issues of justice, women, race, agism, the environment, food, life, who can do what, when, why, how! Online we can attend exhibitions even in other countries. Here is a great one in London. [click this phrase in blue for the link.] Check it out! DISOBEDIENT OBJECTS!! 

26 July 2014 – 1 February 2015: From Suffragette teapots to protest robots, this exhibition is the first to examine the powerful role of objects in movements for social change. It demonstrates how political activism drives a wealth of design ingenuity and collective creativity that defy standard definitions of art and design.
