From the flags and banners of the Suffragettes to the confident slogans of the 2017 Women's March, textiles are usually front and centre at any protest, just as historically, standards were at the vanguard of a battle. This book provides a visual feast of textiles, exploring how they have been used for political protest in the 20th and 21st centuries - from from trade union banners to The Guerilla Girls to Black Lives Matter. Covering the rich history of fine art textiles with a political theme, such as Judy Chicago’s iconic 1970s installation The Dinner Party, and including interviews with prominent activist artists, there are lots of tips and insights into the way everyday materials can be repurposed to create arresting political art. Bold and subversive, beautiful and fascinating, Textile Protest is an important global exploration of how fabric has been used to make a political statement over the years. Perfect for a coffee table or as a gift for a textile revolutionary.
