Stories of Resistance cover

A multimedia excavation of the many meanings of resistance in art and culture across the globe today Through the perspectives of international artists working across mediums, Stories of Resistance sheds light on the situations from which acts of resistance emerge and identifies themes and motifs that recur across history, cultures and regions. Resistance may be found in the rewriting of history, exposing or filling in the blatant absences of the dominant narrative; resistance emerges from within governmental, corporate or institutional structures and systems of power; resistance takes shape in labor movements and in actions to protect water, land and other natural resources. Artists include: Bani Abidi, Andrea Bowers, Banu Cennetoglu, Torkwase Dyson, Emily Jacir, Glenn Kaino, Bouchra Khalili, Candice Lin, Jen Liu, Guadalupe Maravilla, Tuan Andrew Nguyen, Trevor Paglen, PSA: (Jen Everett, Aida Hasanovic, Simiya Sudduth), Wendy Red Star, Dread Scott, Kemang Wa Lehulere and Wide Awakes (Maryam Parwana, Combo, Otherward).

I love the use of the grid and the images inserting themselves as resisting the usual top/bottom alignment. I love the great sense of contrast in the title/copy size comparison. The flexible, multi grid measurements are tight and well organized. -- Brian Johnson * AIGA *
