The Art of Solidarity
The Cold War claimed many lives and inflicted tremendous psychological pain throughout the Americas. The extreme polarization that resulted from pitting capitalism against communism held most of the creative and productive energy of the twentieth century captive. Many artists responded to Cold War struggles by engaging in activist art practice, using creative expression to mobilize social change. The Art of Solidarity examines how these creative practices in the arts and culture contributed to transnational solidarity campaigns that connected people across the Americas from the early twentieth century through the Cold War and its immediate aftermath. This collection of original essays is div...
Women Made Visible
2020 Canadian Association for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CALACS) Book Prize In post-1968 Mexico a group of artists and feminist activists began to question how feminine bodies were visually constructed and politicized across media. Participation of women was increasing in the public sphere, and the exclusive emphasis on written culture was giving way to audio-visual communications. Motivated by a desire for self-representation both visually and in politics, female artists and activists transformed existing regimes of media and visuality. Women Made Visible by Gabriela Aceves Sepúlveda uses a transnational and interdisciplinary lens to analyze the fundamental and overlooked role p...
The New Public Art
Essays on the rise of community-focused art projects and anti-monuments in Mexico since the 1980s. Mexico has long been lauded and studied for its post-revolutionary public art, but recent artistic practices have raised questions about how public art is created and for whom it is intended. In The New Public Art, Mara Polgovsky Ezcurra, together with a number of scholars, artists, and activists, looks at the rise of community-focused art projects, from collective cinema to off-stage dance and theatre, and the creation of anti-monuments that have redefined what public art is and how people have engaged with it across the country since the 1980s. The New Public Art investigates the reemergence ...
1968 Mexico
Recognizing the fiftieth anniversary of the protests, strikes, and violent struggles that formed the political and cultural backdrop of 1968 across Europe, the United States, and Latin America, Susana Draper offers a nuanced perspective of the 1968 movement in Mexico. She challenges the dominant cultural narrative of the movement that has emphasized the importance of the October 2nd Tlatelolco Massacre and the responses of male student leaders. From marginal cinema collectives to women’s cooperative experiments, Draper reveals new archives of revolutionary participation that provide insight into how 1968 and its many afterlives are understood in Mexico and beyond. By giving voice to Mexican Marxist philosophers, political prisoners, and women who participated in the movement, Draper counters the canonical memorialization of 1968 by illustrating how many diverse voices inspired alternative forms of political participation. Given the current rise of social movements around the globe, in 1968 Mexico Draper provides a new framework to understand the events of 1968 in order to rethink the everyday existential, political, and philosophical problems of the present.
Encounters in Video Art in Latin America
With insightful essays and interviews, this volume examines how artists have experimented with the medium of video across different regions of Latin America since the 1960s. The emergence of video art in Latin America is marked by multiple points of development, across more than a dozen artistic centers, over a period of more than twenty-five years. When first introduced during the 1960s, video was seen as empowering: the portability of early equipment and the possibility of instant playback allowed artists to challenge and at times subvert the mainstream media. Video art in Latin America was—and still is—closely related to the desire for social change. Themes related to gender, ethnic, ...
Twenty-First-Century Feminismos
The women’s movement is a central, complex, and evolving socio-political actor in any national context. Vital to advancing gender equity and gendered relations in every contemporary society, the organization and mobilization of women into social movements challenges patriarchal values, behaviours, laws, and policies through collective action and contention, radically altering the direction of society over time. Twenty-First-Century Feminismos examines ten case studies from eight different countries in Latin America and the Caribbean to better understand the ways in which women’s and feminist movements react to, are shaped by, and advance social change. A closer look at women’s movement...
Las mujeres se hacen visibles : los feminismos en el arte y los nuevos regímenes mediáticos y de visualidad en la Ciudad de México, 1971-2011
Premiado en 2020 como el mejor libro de Historia de la Asociación Canadiense de Estudios Latinoamericanos y del Caribe (ACELC). En el México de los años 1970, con la participación cada vez mayor de la mujer en el ámbito público y cuando el predominio de la cultura escrita cedía el paso a la comunicación audiovisual, un grupo de artistas y activistas feministas comenzó a cuestionar cómo el cuerpo femenino era visualmente construido y politizado en los medios de comunicación. Desde un marco transnacional e interdisciplinario, Gabriela Aceves Sepúlveda analiza la casi siempre ignorada influencia de las artistas y activistas feministas en la forma de representar, conceptualizar y pol...

Videopoesía, poíesis fronteriza
Poesía, imagen, palabra y escritura, son los temas que atraviesan la reflexión de Zazil Collins como un intento que visibiliza lo poco asible que también es la creación artística de la videopoesía. No obstante, la agudeza de su mirada-palabra-voz determina el rumbo de su alocución que sirve, por una parte, para descifrar los caminos de la poesía experimental y por otra, para descubrir la relación que la videopoesía guarda con esa poesía que experimenta una escritura fundamentalmente visual, el videoarte (o video experimental), la performance y el arte-acción. Por ello, la autora, no duda considerar a la videopoesía como una poíesis de los límites narrativos, pero además —y que es lo que a ella le interesa dejar claro— la videopoesía representa la frontera desde los discursos de fricción y fisión entre los yo poéticos que la utilizan en específico: migrantes y chicanos marginales, por ejemplo. En este caso, la frontera es el espacio intercultural y gramatical en el que se detonan manifestaciones culturales que buscan reinterpretar los fenómenos particulares desde la condición del sujeto fronterizo.

Kochen, Putzen, Sorgen / Cooking Cleaning Caring
Seit den 1960er-Jahren beschäftigen sich weltweit Künstlerinnen wie Margaret Raspé, Gabriele Voss, Tomaso Binga, Anna Daucíková, Hackney Flashers, Mako Idemitsu, Ana Victoria Jiménez, Mary Sibande und Jinran Ha kritisch mit Care-Arbeit. Sie thematisieren die körperlichen Strapazen der täglichen Arbeit, dekonstruieren die Mythen, die sich um die »Arbeit aus Liebe« ranken, führen die Bedingungen vor, die Care-Arbeiterinnen strukturell marginalisieren und machen die Mechanismen sichtbar, unter denen das Kochen, Putzen und Sorgen bis heute abgewertet wird. Der zweisprachige Katalog ist die erste umfassende Überblickspublikation zu Care-Arbeit in der bildenden Kunst. Bitte beachten: Aus urheberrechtlichen Gründen sind nicht alle Abbildungen des gedruckten Buches auch im E-Book erhalten.
