In 1517 Martin Luther (1483-1546) changed the course of Western civilization by placing his 95 theses on the doors of the Wittenberg church, violently condemning the indulgence trade practiced by the Catholic Church. Through this performative gesture, which takes over the urban space and addresses the whole world, Luther accuses, challenges and affirms his convictions. This gesture would give birth to the Protestant church.
In 2017, on the occasion of this anniversary date, the Château of Montsoreau-Museum of contemporary art gave carte blanche to today’s protesters – artists, philosophers, museum directors – to each create a poster.
PROTEST is an edition containing a presentation text and six posters.
