Through a rich array of objects, from paintings, prints, and political cartoons to historic clothing, textiles, furniture, and ceramics, as well as film and multimedia installations, Whose Revolution provides a vivid and tangible sense of what it was like to live through this dramatic period of mounting tension and crisis and the significance of this history today.
