Edward Torsney – Artist

The Art of Resistance is an archival project. Edward Torsney posts about reactive art from around the world to help share the voices of artists in war zones or under oppressive regimes.

Art is an inevitable reaction to the world around us and it can help to achieve equality and social justice for all by removing the veils obscuring the systemic injustices that much of humanity is subjected to.

Art has the power to do just that and there’s no shortage of talent out there! Here you can sign up, submit examples you’ve found or submit your own work. Together we can concentrate all these resources and spread awareness.
