Summer 2023 - Refusal, Renewal
Regular price
$10.00
Sale
Forms of refusal—such as blocking, resting, stalling, and withholding—are returning to the foreground as strategies for change and resistance. Such practices, importantly, draw upon and continue a historical legacy of Black and Brown resistance against white supremacy. This issue explores forms of artistic refusal, ranging from political action to exuberant evasion. It looks at art and exhibitions that acknowledge conditions of widespread fatigue, ableism, burnout, and resource exhaustion through a lens of rejuvenation, collectivity, and embrace.
