'Art is not a luxury. Art is a basic social need to which everyone has a right'.This extraordinary collection of 100 artists'manifestos from across the globe over the last 100 years brings together activists,post-colonialists,surrealists,socialists,nihilists and a host of other voices. From the Négritude movement in Africa and Martinique to Brazil's Mud/Meat Sewer Manifesto,from Iraqi modernism to Australia's Cyberfeminist Manifesto,they are by turns personal,political,utopian,angry,sublime and revolutionary. Some have not been published in English before; some were written in climates of censorship and brutality; some contain visions of a future still on the horizon. What unites them is the belief that art can change the world.
