What the jury said:
"Everything is Art. Everything is Politics". Combining photography, graphic design, meaningful quotes, high level of craftsmanship and exquisite binding, all the layers of Art of Protest inspire artistic political expression. A homage to art as protest, this innovative layout includes poster art, infographic, and clever use of typeset, promoting art as protagonist and protester. In the pages, the invitation to “Try this…” is a powerful yet gentle encouragement with a range of graphic examples, ending with an empowering call to action “Over to you. Our world right now is ripe for change…” This is a book filled with mission and purpose.
