The Department of Useful Art is a new art podcast about works at the intersection between art and activism. The pilot episode investigates a work from 2016, when a group of artists called TOOLS FOR ACTION
worked with a public theater in Dortmund to set up The Mirror Barricade against right-wing extremism.

Hosted and produced by Summer Banks.
