Une analyse interdisciplinaire et critique du rôle de l'espoir dans l'art contemporain et l'activisme.
Art, Hope, Action: Creative Praxis in Pandemic Times brings together a diverse collection of artists, scholars, and activists to present an interdisciplinary and critical examination of hope's potential for form, method, and action. Drawing on materials from the exhibition After Hope: Videos of Resistance, the volume explores themes of solidarity, queer theory, environmental degradation, narratives of exile, resilience, resistance, and the possibility of escape—as well as return. How do we plant the seeds for new and eclectic futures? What dreams shape our visions of togetherness? Can art challenge us to change and make a difference? This diverse collection includes essays, interviews, photographs, ephemera and more, centering the work of artists from across Asia and its diaspora, and their affinities with like-minded artists and activists and around the world, as guides and catalysts for further inquiry.
