What exactly is propaganda art? Does it differ from the art of propaganda through the ages?

How have progressive artists defied the propaganda of state and market to create their own forms of protest?

Take back propagand-art in this lively symposium and teach-in on the irony of propaganda art, collage as political protest, and the appropriation of popular imagery and culture in the production of new art. Panelists will include an art-historian, a museum curator, a poster artist, and an intellectual property expert on art and culture.
