Erik Ruin, Realizing the Impossible: Art Against Authority
Sept 27, 2-3pm
Radical Bookfair Pavilion

There has always been a close relationship between aesthetics and politics in anti-authoritarian social movements. And those movements have in turn influenced many of the last century's most important art movements, including cubism, Dada, post-impressionism, abstract expressionism, surrealism, Fluxus, Situationism, and punk. Erik Ruin, author, artist, and member of the JustSeeds collective discusses the relationship between aesthetics and politics, with examples drawn from France, Indonesia, Chicago, Denmark, and even Baltimore!

There's also a handful of other stuff happening in the Radical Bookfair Pavilion, check the schedule for info!
