“Power of the People: Art and Democracy” featured approximately 175 works of art entirely from the MFA’s collection, hailing from democracy’s origins in ancient Greece to today. The exhibition highlighted the ways in which art has played a role in shaping ideas about democracy throughout history and how artists have asked citizens to contemplate democracy’s merits, participate in its practice, and call for improvements.
