En las primeras décadas del siglo XX se fortalecieron los nexos entre el movimiento obrero -cada vez más protagónico en una...

Public space is political space. When a work of public art is put up or taken down, it is an inherently political statement, and the work's aesthetics are inextricably entwined with its political valences.

However, it also facilitates artworks that can surreptitiously or fortuitously undermine democratic values. Today, as bigotry and authoritarianism are...
