Rebekah Modrak: All Art is a Political Statement Event in Zagreb

On Friday, May 9, in Zagreb, Croatia, Stamps Professor Rebekah Modrak will present her book Arijana Lekić-Fredrih: All art is a political statement in an event with the artist Arijana Lekić-Fridrih.

The book, published by Disobedience Press, introduces audiences to the work of Croatian artist Arijana Lekić-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 Lekić-Fridrih’s multimedia art as a guide for activism against retrograde restrictions on the freedom of women.
