Authoritarian Regime Survival Guide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

by Martin Mycielski with illustrations by International Collage Artists<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Authoritarian Regime Survival Guide<\/em> is a collage. The book combines the text of a Polish human rights activist with the artwork of seven collage artists to create a space in which we can think about the rise of authoritarianism and how to navigate the troubling, difficult times in which we find ourselves. Organized as a series of lists, the book illustrates what to expect under authoritarianism and offers rules for surviving authoritarian regimes and engaging their supporters. The introduction traces how the text came into existence and how the artists came together to make collage about it. Ric Kasini Kadour shares historical examples of artists responding to authoritarianism; John Heartfield\u2019s anti-fascist collage and a 1979 exhibition in East Germany that was described as a \u201cvictory over false consciousness.\u201d The Authoritarian Regime Survival Guide<\/em> is a testament to the role art can play in our communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
