What began as a traveling “seed exhibition of artists in solidarity with Palestine” – expanded into a worldwide collection and investigation of resistance art movements.\u00a0 This exhibit documents that expanse, from Palestine to Chile, Italy to Japan.\u00a0 The curators, having found a catalogue for the exhibition in a library in Beirut, were astonished by the “scale and scope” of the collection, and its absence from any known historical accounts. What they discovered, as they researched the contributors to this collection, from thirty countries, was a worldwide arts movement centered around solidarity and charged by revolutionary politics.<\/p>\n
“Past Disquiet is an exhibition of stories collected throughout years of research. Even though the past we uncover is recent, and a number of protagonists are still alive, for the most part they narrate an undocumented chapter in the history of contemporary art: its role in political change and a time when artists brought art to the heart of social life.<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
The keyword at the heart of ‘Past Disquiet’ (and of the worldwide movement of the 1960s and 1970s) is solidarity.”<\/p>\n
Just a few of the many interesting arts collectives\/brigades from\/in solidarity with Palestine from various countries that stood out:<\/p>\n
Palestine Liberation Organization<\/p>\n
Plastic Arts Section\/\/Department of Arts and National Culture, Palestine – “mandated to commission, fund and promote the production of posters, art, film, theatre, dance, music and publications; to preserve folklore and cultural traditions, and galvanize support for the Palestinian struggle internationally, in the world of art and culture.”<\/p>\n
Arcicoda: Italian art collective<\/p>\n
muralismo<\/em> in Chile: Brigadas Ramona Parra, 1968: “each brigade constituted of 15-20 students and workers, who executed mural paintings during the night or at dawn, born from an urgency to galvanize popular support around social justice and human rights by members of the Communist Party when the media was almost entirely controlled by right-wing political groups. After the coup d’etat, the military erased thousands of images of struggle and hope.” Many Chileans were exiled, and went on to form other arts collectives and muralist brigades in other countries across Europe.<\/p>\n Japan Afro-Asian Latin American Artists Association (JAALA)<\/p>\n International Brigades of Anti-Fascist Painters<\/p>\n Salon de la Juene Peinture<\/p>\n + + + many others<\/p>\n Also, this exhibit is free on Mondays!<\/p>\n Here’s a link to a great article about the collection:<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.museumsportal-berlin.de\/en\/exhibitions\/zeit-unruhe-ueber-internationale-kunstausstellung-palaestina-1978\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Haus der Kulturen der Welt
