Once the printing press arrived, all bets were off. From Luther’s Reformation (Dürer’s paintings!) to the recent Maidan Revolution in the Ukraine (songs by Pussy Riot!), Europe’s revolutions have been fueled by images, texts, dance, and music. This panel will look at some of the radical masterpieces that inspired/were inspired by Europe’s greatest revolutions.
Refreshments will be served (“Let Them Eat Cake!”).
