A place to share activist and polemical art (visual and textual art with a critical social message).
Didactic, informatively conceptual arts imply collective action, encouraging us to make the world a better place.
Street art, murals, stickers, zines, and other forms of eye-catching arts can be shared with others and discussed here.
You may include photos of your own or other's artworks displayed in public.
Art opposing the Right Wing is the so far the most popular.
Enjoy! Looking forward to seeing and discussing what is shared!

Well, not at the start. Historically they'll do amazing things for you. But toward the closing chapters, yes, you'll start to be annoyed from a pillar of privilege.
What do you consider amazing? The wonders of the world were built by slaves who actually worked hard but were allowed to reproduce because not breeding would be bad for slavery.
Settler colonialism is not much of a privilege except to a handful of oligarchs. Most people might have conveniences like aqueducts and lead pipe, but their lives are in fact still very unpleasant.
We are not the Emperor. It's just the Emperor's privilege.
