When dissent and cultural critique navigates the peripheral of poor taste and political incorrectness is there a line not to cross? What happens when artists appropriate the iconography of the far right and use imagery considered exploitive by some individuals or groups? The work by artists and other cultural provocateurs offered in this list, as with works by artists of earlier political and anti-art movements, employ tactics of confrontation to provoke us to consider where the edges of freedom and censorship are muddled by our personal values and the political agendas of the right and the left.
