[new] Forms of protest (Avg. Score: none / Raters: 0) (#4)

(User Info)

The project republicart includes a collection of essays on art and activist practices, especially involving actions at large-scale protests. Although it is always a point of contention, when is action called for, when is theorizing just so much hot air, I think it is important to keep seeking a balance. Action only for the sake of spectacle too quickly becomes shallow, self-centered, attention-seeking - which makes it less effective. Too much theorizing can be paralyzing, but I think critical reflection is absolutely necessary.
