Spurred by a new wave of protests across the globe – from Occupy, Black Lives Matter, the Arab Spring, and sundry street marches against neoliberal governments throughout Latin America – Raussert examines how artistic practices in three periods (1920s-30s, 1960s-70s and the new millennium) in the Americas have challenged the control of public space in relation to gender, race, sexuality, class, age. The Inter-American perspective sheds light on common utopian aspirations across time and place, as in the networked movements of indigenous, Afro-descendants and diasporic groups, epitomized by the Zapatista lemma: “So long as the media keep lying, the walls will keep talking.” Indeed, this important must-read book, shows how contestatory artists subvert the increasing privatization, consumerization and electronic monitoring of public space and its virtualization in new media, in our own period.
