Social Justice Art of the Twenties
Michelle Freeman's work is showcased alongside 51 artists from 28 countries, whose craft serves as a potent catalyst for societal change.
The book addresses a myriad of pressing issues, including racial equality, socioeconomic inequality, the climate crisis, sexism, feminism, ableism, fast fashion, and other critical social justice themes of our time. It celebrates the diversity of voices actively seeking to make sense of the tumultuous twenties, where every artistic intervention becomes a poignant agent for a world in flux.
Drawn Together: Rewilding Comics Anthology
18 beautiful short-form graphic narratives showcases unique and authentic stories from emerging and award-winning international female artists. A treasure box filled to the brim with bodies finding and being their wild and animal selves.
Many of the works defy categorisation. In doing so they work at re-wilding the form of comics itself. This volume is a howl, a splash, a swoon, medicine – anguished, joyful, and free.
