The Final Wave of Agitprop! opens 4/6 at the Brooklyn Museum.

The fully realized Agitprop! exhibition opens on April 6 with the addition of fifteen contemporary artists and collectives, nominated by the exhibition's second round of participants. The third and final installation of Agitprop!  solidifies the exhibition's mission to explore the legacy and continued power of politically engaged art. The show will be on view through August 7 with a dynamic and thought-provoking installation featuring a full range of material, including photography and film, prints and banners, street actions and songs, and TV shows, social media, and performances.

The term agitprop emerged from the Russian Revolution almost a hundred years ago, combining the words agitation and propaganda to describe art practices intended to incite social change. Connecting current and creative practices with strategies from the early twentieth century, these projects show artists responding to the pressing questions of their day and seeking to motivate broad, diverse audiences.

Agitprop! is organized by the staff of the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art.
