In it, Patrick explores “art, social media, photography, and other visual mediums to understand how our culture and our actions are manipulated, all the while building toward the idea that if fascism emerges as aesthetics, then so too can anti-fascism.” Get your copy here: https://bookshop.org/a/82376/9781640095540 Connect with Patrick here: https://patricknathan.com Watch on YouTube We're in video too!
