This unit examines the role of music, performance, and visual arts in social and political activism from 1850 to today. Students will explore how artists have used their work to challenge authority, inspire movements, and advocate for change. Through historical analysis and case studies, the unit covers key protest movements and the creative strategies that defined them, from civil rights and anti-war protests to environmental and class activism. By engaging with diverse media, students will develop critical skills to analyse the impact of artistic activism on society and its ongoing relevance in today’s social justice movements.

The Art of Protest: The Music, Performance and Visual Arts of Activism since 1850

The world of nation-states today still wrestles with the legacy of imperialism and colonialism. Beginning in the late 15th century, a few European states expanded their commercial reach in the Americas and Asia and commenced a political struggle in regions far away from Europe. Gradually, other Western powers joined the race for overseas possessions, until by the late nineteenth century most of the Global South was governed by the West. There were many non-Western empires in the world during these centuries, however, and the resulting conflicts marked the entire course of modern history. This unit explains the encounters between the West and the Rest, and examines empires in Western Europe, Asia, the Americas, and the Middle East. The unit also looks at ways that imperialism continues to shape the world.Please Note: All students studying at Murdoch University will need to complete the compulsory unit, Murdoch Academic Passport (MAP100), which only takes 2-3 hours to complete online.
