Art can activate the spirit, build a cohesive identity for a community, share wisdom, or communicate ideas. Art can also proselytize, cement allegiances, and question how we shape our reality. Artists might express passions, or instigate meaningful conversations.  Axle's Art & Activism exhibition presents artworks that address pressing concerns in the world, using some or all of the strategies listed above.

 

In July and August of this year, Axle will present this exhibition of activist art. Inside the mobile artspace we will present artworks by Juliana Coles, Bob Haozous, Adam Jonas Horowitz, jetsonorama (Chip Thomas), Don Redman, and Will Wilson. The works address a range of issues including Cultural Hegemony, Weapons of Mass Destruction, Uranium Mining, Guns, War, and Identity. The artworks might draw us in through beauty, humor, or surprise. Once we are hooked, the work makes us reflect and might change how we think or act in the world.
