Explore the intersection of politics and contemporary art in this second course. For centuries, art has taken sides in the political struggles of its day. Art history has been the story of artists who sought to be the vanguard not just of artistic change, but of social and political change too. That is what we mean when we talk about art being avant-garde. How and why is politics so present in the art of our time? What stories and perspectives get left out?Event LinksTickets: https://go.evvnt.com/1593821-0Website: https://go.evvnt.com/1593821-2 Details & Tickets: https://www.upcomingevents.com/richmond/events/institute-for-contemporary-art-at-vcu/making-sense-of-the-art-world-how-did-art-get-mixed-up-in-politics-90753?ref=uceaddevent Institute for Contemporary Art at VCU, 601 West Broad Street, Richmond, VA, 23220
