Towards a People's Culture

Description

Reader documenteert het New World Academy project van de Nederlandse kunstenaar Jonas Staal waarmee een nieuwe alliantie bepleit wordt tussen progressieve politiek en kunst. In de eerste reader stond de Nationale Democratische Beweging in de Filippijnen centraal. - In establishing New World Academy (NWA), artist Jonas Staal and BAK conjoin their efforts to launch a new academy that invites political organizations invested in the progressive political project to share with artists and students their views on the role of art and culture in political struggles. Together, they engage in critical thinking through concrete examples of transformative politics and develop collaborative projects that question and challenge the various frameworks of justice and existing models of representation
