Contra Journal is a publication that considers the relationship between art and conflict through thematic editions.
 

This second issue, titled Protest, asks questions such as: What defines protest and how does it relate to visual culture? How powerful is art as an enactor of social change? And what does the future hold for protest as a visual language?
 

Readers will receive one of two covers selected at random.

 

In this issue:

 

  • British artist Peter Kennard tackles issues such as nuclear disarmament and economic inequality
  • American artist Kara Walker highlights ongoing police brutality and racism in the US
  • Victoria Lomasko’s satirical illustrations document resistance across contemporary Russia
  • Curator BG Muhn offers an insight into art in North Korea — where protest is strictly forbidden
