Southern Irruptions
New Forms of Artistic Political Antagonism in Latin America
Guest Editors: Miguel A López and Ana Longoni
This issue explores several antagonistic and utopian art practices in Latin America from the 1960s to the 1980s. Increasing political radicalisation, shot through with modernising impulses, was interrupted by repressive regimes. Various political aesthetic initiatives (visual, graphic or performative) and forms of artistic resistance arose to redefine their modes of action in the public sphere. These strategies created alternative networks of exchange outside the institutional channels and became collective survival tactics against terror. These practices can now be seen as a renewed political imagination apart from any orthodoxy. Southern Irruptions presents forms of critical and dissident art which until today were poorly documented or practically unknown. The texts frame the discussion on political memory in Latin America which has driven the research group ‘Red Conceptualismos del Sur’ since 2007, and bring together new research, documents and conversations with the participants themselves that offer a new reading of those decades of profound social change.
