Propaganda art in the 21st century

Propaganda art - whether a depiction of joyous workers in the style of socialist realism or a film directed by Steve Bannon - delivers a message.

Political regimes have shaped our world according to their interests and ideology; today, popular mass movements push back by constructing other worlds with their own propagandas.
