The Horror of Fascism: Art as Resistance

Abstract

The Horror of Fascism: Art as Resistance is a collation of artists that make meaningful work as a protest to the uprisal of fascism within society. Going over the past, present, and potential future of fascism within our communities and governments, this exhibition proposal examines key theories around how to prevent fascism and how to build a resistance to it through both art and horror. The inherent political nature of art and horror media makes them a powerful duo to communicate ideas between the working class, strengthening bonds and uplifting spirits during unfortunate times. The threat of fascism is very real and very close to home, but through independent exhibitions like the one proposed here, ideas and support can spread like wildfire through our communities and support the push towards a socialist future.
