ARTMargins Issue Explores Photography and Performance in Revealing Suppressed Urban Imaginaries and Historical Crimes

The first issue of ARTMargins Volume 12, published on March 17, 2023, examines how photography and performance make visible obscured ways of seeing. Multiple texts and projects highlight suppressed forms of imagining urban space, clandestine archives documenting humanitarian crimes during Brazil's last dictatorship, and deaths forgotten or naturalized in the AIDS epidemic. Edited by Katarzyna Pieprzak, the publication questions interpretations of what is alternately invisible and reified. This editorial raises whether the work should not only document past suppressions, exclusions, and fetishizations but sustain desire in the present. The issue, spanning pages 3-7, is available through MIT Press with full access. Its DOI is 10.1162/artm_e_00333, and content can be found at the provided source URL.
