The year 2012 is forever associated with protest from Occupy Wall Street protesters in America to the Arab Spring in Tunisia and Egypt, and popular unrest in the face of austerity measures in Greece and Spain. The evening news covers these events in one-and-a half minute segments, accompanied by a flood of images, making them difficult for viewers to assess.
Monika Huber is an artist who lives and works in Munich. Susanne Fischer is the Middle East program manager at the Institute for War and Peace Reporting, Beirut. She is the author of The Villa on the Brink of Insanity.
