Make Art Not War 
In a world riven by conflict, art can be a powerful vector of resistance to violence. From Picasso's masterpiece Guernica to contemporary artists, many creators have sought to denounce the horrors of war and inspire hope for a peaceful future. 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! 
Resistance isn’t always visible, but when we can see it in art, what does it look like? Step back through global art history and look at Delacroix’s Liberty Leading the People, Night Attack on the Sanjô Palace, Henry Oscar One Bull’s Custer’s War, Goya’s Disasters of War, and Kara Walker’s Darkytown Rebellion. Each revealing in disparate ways the experience of those who have struggled against systems of power.
