The connection between art, politics, and identity forms a central focus of departmental research. Studies examine how visual elements both represent and influence identity across personal, collective, and societal levels. Investigated periods span from the French Revolution to modern times, encompassing the creation of the UK, European fascism's emergence, American Civil Rights struggles, and Cold War/Vietnam War eras. This research may analyze artistic works impacting political spheres or diverse visual expressions mirroring political environments. Equally significant is how image interpretations transform through political shifts, cultural borrowing, or strategic reuse.
