A Presentation by Allan Antliff

AK Press / 674-A 23rd Street, Oakland

Allan Antliff will be joining us to give a visual presentation addressing some of the themes in his most recent book, ANARCHY AND ART. Antliff will discuss moments of engagement when artists, poets, philosophers, and critics have confronted pivotal events over the past 140 years, from the Paris Commune to the fall of the Soviet empire. Exploring art’s potential as a vehicle for meaningful social change from an anarchist perspective, this presentation will throw new light on what it means to be radical.
