THE ART OF ACTIVISM AND THE ACTIVISM OF ART
Since the global financial crash of 2008, but especially in light of the 2020 global uprisings and monumenticides that followed the police M**der of George Floyd, art and activism has become increasingly difficult to separate in practice, but also ontologically, as distinct modes of socially affective agency. Activists have generated cultural forms of dissent adopted by artists, while incorporating modes and technologies of artistic visuality into movement culture. Meanwhile, artists, often working collectively and collaboratively with one another, as well as with activists, absorb and reflect forms of protest culture within their practice, as they become increasingly engaged in critically targeting capitalism, political authoritarianism, gentrification, racial and colonial legacies, as well as their own socio-economic precariousness. The objective of this platform is to explore this rich and overflowing surplus archive as a real and imaginary space of experimentation, failure, historical repurposing and social expectations.
