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.

Résumé:
After more than three decades as a renowned global architect, Yasmeen Lari, the first woman to open her own architecture firm in Pakistan in 1964, developed Zero Carbon Architecture, which unites ecological and social justice. This volume, edited by Angelika Fitz, Elke Krasny, and Marvi Mazhar, presents Lari’s trajectory from exemplary modernist to zero carbon revolutionary, with a focus on her remarkable contributions to the global architectural movement to decarbonize and decolonize. Lari’s architectural thinking and activism have always gone beyond the quest for a singular built solution. Rather, she strategically plans systemic approaches and solutions, be it for housing, a heritage foundation, or zero-carbon shelters with communities at risk. Original essays from diverse international contributors contextualize Lari’s work; investigate architecture and the postimperial, postcolonial, and postpartition condition; and examine the intersections of architecture and human rights, climate change, decolonization, gender, care, activism, and vernacular innovation.

Résumé:
The world today faces overwhelming ecological and social problems and the concern for material existence on earth is more pressing than ever. This book spells out various roles that visual artists and designers play facing these issues. Collective action is necessary and inevitable. This approach often changes the artist’s identity and working habits: from individuality and autonomy to collectivity and collaboration, both locally and globally. These developments have given rise to new kinds of collective art and design practices: artists work together with non-artists, make products for their local environment and take on multiple identities, such as researcher, community activist, computer hacker or business consultant. This volume looks at art practices across all continents that do not conform to a Western concept of art nor to traditional distinctions between art, design, research and activism—where the boundaries between art, design, research and activism become blurred or are dissolved.

Résumé:
Restituer la parole des ami-e-s de lutte, articuler les « je » et « nous » d'alors et d'aujourd'hui, faire retour sur des faits et affects peu connus du public français, analyser « l'épidémie de la représentation » consécutif à l'apparition du sida : telle est l'entreprise de cet ouvrage, conçu par Elisabeth Lebovici comme un véritable « discours de la méthode », où, toujours, le personnel est politique. Engagée aux côtés des activistes français et américains de la lutte contre le sida, observatrice privilégiée, en tant qu'historienne de l'art et journaliste, des débats et enjeux des années 1980 et 1990, l'auteure analyse ce moment charnière des liens entre art et activisme, qu'elle revisite avec sa mémoire de témoin, en survivante affectée. Monographies, entretiens et essais thématiques composent ce volume, rédigé de manière assumée-- la seule possible-- à la première personne. Il propose ainsi une cosmologie élective-- d'ACT UP à Dana Wyse, d'Alain Buffard à Zoe Leonard, de Lionel Soukaz à Mark Morrisroe, entre autres--, illustrée par des archives et ephemera qui soulignent l'importance du graphisme dans la lutte contre le sida. Embrassé par une création originale du collectif lesbien fierce pussy, « Ce que le sida m'a fait » est un ouvrage nécessaire pour comprendre les « années sida », cette période d'une créativité artistique et activiste née de l'urgence de vivre et du combat pour la reconnaissance de tous--tes.
