Summary, etc 'Disobedient Objects' is about out-designing authority. It explores the material culture of radical change and protest - from objects familiar to many, such as banners or posters, to the more militant, cunning or technologically cutting-edge, including lock-ons, book-blocs and activist robots. Where previous social movement histories have focused on large-scale events, strategies or biographies, this book - and the exhibition it accompanies - shows how objects themselves can be revolutionary.

The book explores the art of protest culture and how objects can be politically active. It will accompany the V&A exhibition 'Disobedient Objects'. This rebellious and groundbreaking exhibition asks how politically active objects can change the world by out-designing authority. It proves political activism to be a vibrant engine for experimental and alternative design. It showcases how artists have produced work within the context of social movements in a self-conscious and formally avant- garde re-imagination of the traditional objects of political protest. The exhibition will focus on the distinct cultural history of activist art and design since 1989 but will historicize work from this period alongside earlier inspirational objects of protest including, for example, a Luddite hammer, the barricades and balloons of the Paris Commune and Gandhi's spinning wheel.
