Molly Crabapple has chronicled the stories of the marginalised while also shedding light on the darker corners of the United States empire. Crabapple's
artwork was widely used during the Occupy Wall Street protests, and in 2013 she was one of the first artists to gain access to the Guantanamo Bay prison. She has sketched and written on a range of stories from the consequences
of Hurricane Maria and corruption in Puerto Rico, to the lives of refugees in Greece and throughout the Middle East. Her most recent publication in collaboration with Syrian journalist Marwan Hisham, Brothers of the Gun (2018),
details Hisham's harrowing experience living in parts of Syria under ISIL control.
Paul Mason's career as a journalist covering the financial crisis, international protests from Turkey to Spain, the conflict in Gaza, and the Hurricane
Katrina disaster in the US furnished his subsequent books and plays, including Why It's Kicking Off Everywhere: The New Global Revolutions (2012) and Postcapitalism (2017). In his latest book, Clear Bright Future: A Radical
Defence of the Human Being (2019), Mason argues that the rise and fall of neoliberalism has galvanised the far right as well as global resistance movements. His book makes the case for ethical human control of technology to
further global progress.
