Afterall Journal Issue 28 Explores Artistic Pedagogy, Public Spheres, and Emancipatory Practices
The 28th issue of Afterall Journal, released on 04 October 2011 and introduced by Nuria Enguita Mayo, delves into the intersection of artistic practice with pedagogy and societal frameworks. It draws connections between historical initiatives such as Francisco Ferrer y Guardia's 1901 Escuela Moderna and José Oiticica's 1906 Colegio Latinoamericano and the art of the 20th century. The publication examines Hélio Oiticica's 1964 Parangolé series as a transformative gesture and his 1971 writings that associate Brazilian Tropicalism with the US queer underground. Featured artists include Ricardo Basbaum and Lia Perjovschi, alongside essays discussing the AfriCOBRA collective, Jean-Luc Moulène, Emily Wardill, and Peio Aguirre. Theoretical insights are grounded in Alexander Kluge and Oskar Negt's 1972 work, highlighting community as a form of resistance against capitalism.
