In a world riven by conflict, art can be a powerful vector of resistance to violence.

Painting, photography, graffiti: any medium is a good way of asserting your convictions! This playlist invites you to discover these committed works that have lost none of their force! 💪

This epiode explores some of the most powerful artworks ever made, making the case for political art one work at a time.
