Sociology and history have framed discussions regarding the humanities after Brexit and Trump. We’ve considered such realities as the shrinking of safe and shared public spaces; the increasing prevalence of exclusionary zones in the biosphere as well as the economy; the stress on long-held notions of sovereignty and state. Now we turn to art to help address such questions as ‘is there still room for idealism?’ ‘how do we find nuance in a time when ambiguity is seen as suspect?’ ‘what is the role of art in today’s tumultuous world?’
