Social Movements and Visual Activism

Jacques Rancière argues that “artistic practices are ways of doing and making that intervene in the general distribution of these ways of doing and making as well as in the relationships they maintain to models of being and forms of visibility” (403). Explain and discuss Rancière’s argument, using one recent example of visual activism. Please include reproductions of all images discussed in your assignment. 

Papers should be between 1500-1800 words (roughly 5 to 6 pages), double-spaced, in 12pt font. Include citations, image captions and a bibliography (use the Chicago Style for your citations and bibliography).
