Signs of Change

I came across this report on an exhibition called "Signs of Change ; Social Movement Cultures 1960- now"
It is really interesting as the exhibition tries to document how ideas ( revolutionary or otherwise) translated into art were be used for social transformation and for bringing change.
German-born satirist George Grosz attacked the socially detached avant-garde with the 1925 essay "Art is in Danger": "...come out of your seclusion, let the ideas of the working people take hold of you and help them fight this rotten society." The traveling exhibition Signs of Change: Social Movement Cultures 1960 to Now reveals how the socially progressive 1960s spurred this desired alliance between artists and activists, allowing the raw emotions and elevated ideals of social revolution to find more concentrated graphic expression. Curators Dara Greenwald and Josh MacPhee, themselves artist-activists, present a stunning half-century panorama of revolutionary ephemera and video documentation.
Greenwald and MacPhee incorporate social movements from 42 countries, including Burma, Iran, and South Korea. Beginning with "Free Richard Mohawk and Paul Skyhorse" posters from the American Indian Movement (AIM), the show continues with evidence of historical uprisings little known in the United States. Witness South Korean artist Hong Sung Dam's revelatory woodcuts from the 1980 Gwangju Democratization Movement, during which the South Korean military killed 2,000 unarmed civilians.
A segment is devoted to the 1987 artwork of non-partisan ACT UP, a group dedicated to arresting the AIDS epidemic. Another segment features the promotion of environmental consciousness in Britain. The exhibit ends with graphics opposing globalization and gentrification, each intended for urban posting and distribution.
