CHAPTER

Art as Revolutionary Tool

This chapter explores the mission of Art for the People (AFTP) to create art that aligns with working-class and anti-capitalist ideals, drawing from historical revolutionary art movements. It emphasizes the role of artists in societal struggles and the necessity for art to serve content over form, particularly in a capitalist context. Through discussions on the emotional resonance of art and the challenges faced by politically engaged artists, the chapter advocates for a collaborative approach between artists and workers to foster meaningful cultural production.
