Art of Resistance

In 2017's inaugural print edition, GOOD TROUBLE ISSUE 23, we filled the four centre pages with an exclusive portfolio of works submitted by some of our favourite artists, who we hit up with the one-word brief 'RESIST'… We publish it in full here. Onwards into 2018!

“I took this on a bus that goes towards Taksim (Istanbul), it was right after the Gezi Park movement, when the writings on the walls were painted shades of grey; the brightness is not ash, but a mere moment caught. It gives me hope and haunts me at the same time.” 

GARETH PUGH

“This is from Fall/Winter 2017 show footage, featuring one of my oldest friends, the artist Stav Bee, who we had come walk in the show alongside other activists and outliers this season.”
