In honour of Montreal’s Festival of Anarchy taking place this (and every) May, this display brings together books highlighting the intersection of art, anarchy, and activism. Anarchism has been associated with artists (visual artists, writers, and musicians) from its very beginnings, and art – especially activist art – continues to be perhaps its best expression. In this display, you’ll find books on and by anarchist artists (as well as a few musicians and poets), books about art as activism and activism as art, and a few books just about anarchism for the curious. The display will be up until the end of June, so have a look and borrow a book! To browse the virtual list of books, click here.

Come and check out the new Redpath Book Display in the Humanities and Social Sciences Library: Technology & Society. If you’re interested in the political, social, or psychological impacts of digital technologies, social media use, big data, or privacy and surveillance, you’re sure to find a title of interest. The display will be up until February so take a break and browse the shelf…better yet, borrow a book! Happy reading.
