Description
Introduces visual culture as visual activism, or activating the visible.
Outlines three currently successful tactics of visual activism: removal of statues and monuments; restitution of cultural property; and practices of repair and reparations.
Addresses catastrophe and trauma, from Palestine's Nakba to the climate disaster and the intersections of plague and war.
Maps the activist turn in the field since 2014 and sets directions for its future expansion.
