Artefacts of Resistance: Creating Archives of Transnational Protest Movements
A DPU Dialogues in Development event to launch the project "Artefacts of Resistance: Creating Archives of Transnational Protest Movements" commissioned by Imagining Future grant and in collaboration with Kings College London and the Royal Academy of Arts
Artefacts of Resistance: Creating Archives of Transnational Protest Movements
20 Jan 2023, 16:00 – 18:00
Recent resistance movements across the globe highlight spatial occupation as an important praxis to exert right to the city. However, neoliberal and nationalist states increasingly criminalise rights of assembly and expression and coercively stifle dissent.
At this juncture, the project seeks to explore how archives can become an oeuvre of solidarity for local(ised) acts of resistance against global(ised) forms of oppression?
The project team will give an overview of our project and will showcase some of the artistic collaborations made as part of the project.
The event will be followed by a drinks reception from 18:00pm
