Fluxus, Nouveau Réalisme, Happenings, and Actionisms
The 1960s marked a pivotal era of radical social, political, aesthetic, and theoretical transformation. Civil rights movements and student protests, anti-colonial liberation struggles, the rise of feminist activism, and the triumphs of pop culture and consumer society all continue to resonate today. Contemporary movements such as Black Lives Matter and #MeToo draw on the emancipatory efforts of that time, while current debates around war, media, technology, consumerism, and capitalism are deeply rooted in the 1960s.
