Recreo Valencia Art Book Fair (3rd edition) | Presentation of Art and Solidarity Reader by Valiz


Activities

With the participation of Katya García-Antón (author) and Astrid Vorstermans (editor).

Looking beyond East/West and North/South divisions, the Art and Solidarity Reader asks: what were and are the alternative circuits of survival and solidarity among artists and activists from non-aligned nations and politically challenging contexts? Where do these trajectories of solidarity lead, both inside and outside the art world? How can traveling exhibitions, museum displays, the idea of a “museum in exile,” artistic actions, and performative collectives become tools of political struggle against oppression and social fragmentation?

Art and Solidarity Reader gathers microhistories from the 1970s to the present, rethinking our collective responses to multiple crises related to migration, colonialism, increasing radicalization, religious conflicts, class divisions, new technologies, heteronormativity, and environmental urgencies.
