Art Activism Action

Created by the Greater Columbus Arts Council (GCAC) and produced by the creative team at Warhol & WALL ST., a new book titled Art | Activism | Action is now available. The hard cover, 225-page book documents murals created during the 2020 protests in Columbus and features writings by Black creatives on the continuing fight for social justice.

The book is intended to serve as a time capsule and interactive experience that showcases the pain and struggle of the events of summer 2020, but also the beauty of the art, all while telling Columbus’ story and continuing the conversation and pushing for action in our city.

The foreword for Art | Activism | Action was penned by Hanif Abdurraqib, with a closing from Dr. Melissa Crum. More than 200 visual artists, writers and community leaders contributed to the book, including Cynthia Amoah, Christie Angel, Chris Bournea, Sterling Carter, Barbara Fant, Shellee Fisher, Tom Hanks, LC Johnson, Tifani Kendrick, John Landry, Brittany Moseley, Dr. Carlotta Penn, Tyiesha Radford-Shorts, Marshall Shorts, Charlie Stewart, Aramis Sundiata, Tariq Tarey, Erica Thompson, Micah Walker, Donte Woods-Spikes and more.
