Looking for action?
Looking for juicy gossip?
Looking for nudity, rebellion, and a bit of chaos?
From religion to politics, social order to subversion—art has always been a powerful tool to assert authority or to tear it down. In this talk, we’ll explore how images shaped power, manipulated emotions, and challenged the status quo… even when we don’t notice it anymore.
Through a partial and biased selection of artworks, we’ll look at propaganda, protest, diplomacy, war, control, and freedom—unpacking what’s hidden beneath the surface using visual analysis (denotation, connotation, and just a touch of bad faith).
Come for the drama, stay for the deconstruction.
