Art Works: How Organizers and Artists are Creating a Better World Together
Author: Ken Grossinger
When artists and organizers combine forces—think of a George Floyd mural becoming the emblem of a renewed movement for racial equality, or a documentary film injecting energy into a popular effort to oust a Central American dictator—new forms of political mobilization follow, often shaping lasting social change. In Art Works, noted movement leader Ken Grossinger chronicles such efforts for the first time, distilling lessons and insights from grassroots leaders and luminaries such as Ai Weiwei, Courtland Cox, Jackson Browne, Shepard Fairey, Jane Fonda, Bill McKibben, Jose Antonio Vargas, and more. (I must admit, my favorite chapter talked about the powerful influence of the Folk Movement in popular music of the early 1960s, with Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, and Peter Paul & Mary.)
Drawing from historical and present-day examples—including Black Lives Matter, Standing Rock, the Hip Hop Caucus, the Legacy Museum, and the Art for Justice Fund—Grossinger offers a rich tapestry of tactics and successes that speak directly to the challenges and needs of today’s activists and of this political moment. Named one of the The Progressive magazine’s ‘Favorite Books of the Year.’
