Fact Friday features Art of Protest: Creating, Discovering, and Activating Art for Your Revolution by De Nichols. The author calls herself an "artivist," meaning she uses her art to protest injustice. This short volume is part-memoir, part history of protest art and part how-to and sure to inspire budding "artivists." She collaborated with other artists on this colorful and compelling book. Protest art can take many forms from posters to performance art, from song to dance. Short biographies of notable artists are sprinkled throughout. Informational literature at its finest.
