Description
Arijana Lekic-Fridrih: All Art is a Political Statement introduces audiences to the work of Croatian artist Arijana Lekic-Fridrih and, in particular, to her Silent Mass, a performance resisting the "Be Manly" movement, a series of mass prayer events held in Croatian public squares by a battalion of men who pray for the abolition of women's rights, for women's "chastity," and for men's "masculine authority." All Art is a Political Statement links the erosion of women's rights across intercontinental boundaries and offers Lekic-Fridrih's multimedia art as a guide for activism against retrograde restrictions on the freedom of women.

Rebekah Modrak is an artist and writer analyzing consumer culture and representation from unusual perspectives. She is co-editor of Radical Humility: Essays on Ordinary Acts in which twenty people (a philosopher, a psychologist, a cook, a journalist, a librarian, a marketing scholar, a lawyer ...) consider humility as a countermeasure to Trump's golden escalator. She's co-editor of Trouble in Censorville: The Far Right's Assault on Public Education and the Teachers Who Are Fighting Back. Alison Bechdel writes, of Trouble in Censorville, "Their powerful testimony is enraging-these vicious attacks are not what they signed up for. But it's also profoundly uplifting, a vision of courage, resistance, and grace under fire that is a model for us all in these dark times." Modrak has also written articles for publications such as New Art Examiner, Media-N, The Conversation, Afterimage, Ms. Magazine, and Infinite Mile. She is Professor in the Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan. She lives in Ann Arbor where runs a local food truck series.
