<p>'A fascinating, passionate and political case for art's world-changing power, by a fizzingly good writer' <b>Robert Macfarlane </b> | 'Everyone interested in social change should read it' <b>Brian Eno</b><br><br>In <i>Acts of Resistance</i>, Amber Massie-Blomfield writes about the artists who have treated the protest site as their canvas and contributed to movements that have transformed history - from the musicians in Auschwitz to the four-year Siege of Sarajevo, from the to ACT UP's 1989 invasion of the New York Stock Exchange, to the Niger Delta and indigenous communities in Bolivia.<br><br>Including stories and artists from across the globe, alongside collectives, communities, amateurs and anonymous creators who have used their art as an expression of resistance - this fascinating book asks what is the purpose of art in a world on fire? Why are artists compelled to paint, write, dance and make music, even when the odds are stacked against them? And how can artistic creation be a genuine form of political resistance?</p>
