Résumé:
Looking at the relationship between art, archives and activism, this publication begins with the 1970s, an era when social movements – feminism, environmentalism, LGBTQ2SIA+ rights, Indigenous rights, access to health services and housing – began to coalesce into models of self-organization that overlapped with the production of art and culture. Noting the resurgence of art practice involved with social activism and an increasing interest in the 1970s from younger producers, the Belkin connected with diverse archives and activist networks to bring forward these histories, to commission new works of art and writing and to provide a space for discussion and debate. This book brings contemporary art practices into active dialogue with the past, interweaving archive with artwork, poetry, prose and critical investigation.
