The fully realized Agitprop! exhibition opened on April 6 with the addition of fifteen contemporary artists and collectives, nominated by the exhibition’s second round of participants. Presented by the Brooklyn Museum’s Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art, the third and final installation of Agitprop! solidifies the exhibition’s mission to explore the legacy and continued power of politically engaged art. The show will be on view through August 7 with a dynamic and thought-provoking installation featuring a full range of material, including photography and film, prints and banners, street actions and songs, and TV shows, social media, and performances.

Agitprop! is evolving in three waves: the final round of artists was selected by the second round of participants, who were selected by the first round. The exhibition opened on December 11 with five case studies in early agitprop and twenty contemporary art projects selected by the Sackler Center staff. In total, more than fifty contemporary fusions of art and political action, involving hundreds of contributors, are exhibited.
