Hello, i am looking for a few book suggestions. I wanted to read a book about art or design for my uni assignment, but i wanted to incorporate it with something i would be more interested in reading, which is either activism or sustainability. Are there any books that manage to combine that? All answers appreciated <3

Fiction: **Bitter** by Akwaeke Emezi – the protagonist is an art student, the story is about young people leading a revolution (in a somewhat abstract urban fantasy setting), and one of the main topics is how art can play into radical political change. Very interesting book! It is a prequel to **Pet**, which I would recommend reading first (it’s short!), but I think they can also be read independently. (They are labelled as young adult, but in my opinion, they are ageless.)
Nonfiction: **This Is What I Know About Art** by Kimberly Drew (although it is a very short book, almost a longish essay)
