NEW: ARTMargins Print 15:2
This issue of ARTMargins presents texts that navigate past and present confrontations with instances of entrenched political power. In some cases, these navigations reflect the authors’ critical analysis of their own experiences and positionality, a necessary step in shaping modes of resistance. In other cases, the complex functions of past, and supposedly monolithic, regimes—be they colonial or state socialist—are recovered through careful attention to the exercise of artistic agency within them.
