How did illustrations embolden a community? How did caricatures, portraits, and parody empower a movement and terrify the FBI? And what can we learn from the art of Emory Douglas and the Black Panther newspaper about how to make art as resistance today and tomorrow?

This is The Art of Resistance, a podcast about using writing, music, and all kinds of art to resist the status quo. The show is made by Rebel Yell Creative and Amy Lee Lillard.
