'Art is not a luxury. Art is a basic social need to which everyone has a
right'. This extraordinary collection of 100 artists' manifestos from
across the globe over the last 100 years brings together activists,
post-colonialists, surrealists, socialists, nihilists and a host of
other voices.
From the Negritude movement in Africa and
Martinique to Brazil's Mud/Meat Sewer Manifesto, from Iraqi modernism to
Australia's Cyberfeminist Manifesto, they are by turns personal,
political, utopian, angry, sublime and revolutionary. Some have not been
published in English before; some were written in climates of
censorship and brutality; some contain visions of a future still on the
horizon. What unites them is the belief that art can change the world.
