ARTMargins Online Launches Special Issue on Artistic Solidarity in Contemporary Contexts

On November 19, 2022, ARTMargins Online published a special issue focused on the theme of artistic solidarity, examining it from both historical and contemporary perspectives. The issue explores how artists, cultural figures, and institutions show solidarity at local, translocal, and global levels. It critiques the role of solidarity in today's neoliberal context, which often sees reduced worker unity and deregulation. Notable historical events discussed include the 1955 Afro-Asian summit in Bandung and the 1978 Art Exhibition for Palestine in Beirut. It also touches on exhibitions like 'Past Disquiet' and highlights support from China for U.S. Black activists during the early 1960s. Upcoming articles will feature interviews and discussions on various related topics, including feminist organizing in the post-Yugoslav area.
