Another Aesthetics Is Possible
In Another Aesthetics Is Possible Jennifer Ponce de Le n examines the roles that art can play in the collective labor of creating and defending another social reality. Whether enacting solidarity with Zapatista communities through an alternate reality game or using surrealist street theater to amplify the more radical strands of Argentina's human rights movement, these artists fuse their praxis with forms of political mobilization from direct-action tactics to economic resistance.
