ABOUT THE FILMThe Art of Protest brings together artists,musicians, and cultural figures who treat creative expression as direct political engagement. Through stories of guerrilla installations, graphic campaigns, street art, and textile-based activism, the documentary highlights how visual language shapes movements and mobilizes communities.
