Book Power

A curated collection of artist books addressing the social, political and environmental issues of our times. Artist books can be a powerful vehicle to shed light on the problems we face in the world and can also be a strong call for change. War, poverty, decay, politics, revolution, violence, feminism, environmental, economic and political upheaval are but a few of the issues that concerned artists have used to engage their readers in an effort to raise consciousness, call for justice and provoke action. These artists share their struggles, their vision and their hopes for better world. Perhaps artists really can change the world.
