Anonymous street art with a political message

– in pictures

 

The Autonomous Design Group

(ADG)

are an anonymous art collective

formed in the UK in 2019.

 

They create eye-catching,

affecting designs

on the subject of rent strikes,

police reform,

workers’ rights

and the climate crisis.

 

Although their posters

are works of art,

ADG want you to be sure

of their political message:

 

this is art designed

not for galleries or social media,

but to be displayed in the streets.

 

“So far, we’ve sent out

around 200,000 stickers

and posters worldwide,”

says one of ADG’s

four current members.

 

“We are able to collectively

self-manage our own lives

without capitalism or the state.

Another world is possible

and we view art

as an indispensable way

of getting there.”

How the rise of African creators

How the rise of African creators impacted black culture

Video        G        12 November 2020

 

In recent years,

Africans on the continent and in the diaspora

have become leading voices in black culture

– in music, film, fashion, social media, comedy

and even our memes.

 

When Grace Shutti was growing up,

black culture usually referred to African Americans.

 

But from Beyoncé's visual album, Black is King,

to Marvel's Black Panther

and musician Diddy executive

producing the Nigerian pop star Burna Boy's album,

the shift to embrace African art has been seismic.

 

Grace investigates how this came about

How Hip-Hop Has Tackled Police Brutality

Video        Genius News        16 June 2020

 

Hip-hop and police go together like oil and water—they don’t mix.

This mistrust of law enforcement stems from the wider Black community’s

decades of negative experiences with the criminal justice system.

Songs like N.W.A’s “Fuck Tha Police”, Lil Baby’s “The Bigger Picture”,

J. Cole’s “Be Free”, Kendrick Lamar’s “Alright”,

Rage Against the Machine’s “Killing In The Name”

and many others speak to the effect of over policing on Black people in America.

Public policy attorney Malaika Jabali joins us

to explain the history of police in the US.

Why should you read “Fahrenheit 451”?

Video        TED-Ed        Iseult Gillespie        22 January 2019

 

Ray Bradbury’s novel

imagines a world where books are banned- and possessing,

let alone reading them, is forbidden.

 

The protagonist, Montag,

is a fireman responsible for destroying what remains.

 

The story raises the question: how can you preserve your mind

in a society where free will, self-expression and curiosity

are under fire?

 

Iseult Gillespie examines

what makes the dystopian novel a classic.

Lewis Hine:

The child labour photos

that led to change

 

 

Lewis Hine

is most famous

for his photographs

of the construction workers

who helped build

the Empire State Building

in 1930.

 

But in the years before

he celebrated

the heroic labour of these men

working high above Manhattan,

Hine used his photographs

to campaign for social reform.

 

In 1908

the then-sociology professor was hired

by the National Child Labor Committee

to document

how children as young as seven

were working

in cotton mills and coal mines.

 

Over a decade

he took thousands of photographs

that helped convince US lawmakers

to introduce new industrial regulations

to protect children.
