Obrazy idą na strajk – o strategii aktywistycznej Arka Pasożyta

Analyzing Arek Pasożyt’s Obrazy strajkujące [Strike Images] series as a case study of artivististic practices during the rule of Law and Justice, the authors highlight the contemporary challenges, entanglements and opportunities faced by art understood as an instrument of political change at a particular moment of deepening, multi-faceted crisis of neoliberal hegemony. Distinguishing between the concepts of activistic art and artivism, they draw attention to the specificity of today’s artistic activities that are engaged in effecting political change. They incorporate a sense of powerlessness, rage and exhaustion into their deliberations, as well as reflect on the presence of artivistic art online.
