How does art play a role in social and political struggles all over the world? Can it be a tool with which to shape the world rather than just reflect it? Following on from the 2012 Truth Is Concrete 24/7 marathon camp, a manual of artistic strategies in politics and society was published in 2014. The handbook collects 100 strategies by artists, activists and theorists, mapping the broad field of engaged art and artistic activism. Additional essays focus on the philosophy, structures and modalities behind the many fights to make this world a better place.
Essays by Stephen Duncombe & Steve Lambert, Alanna Lockward, Chantal Mouffe, Florian Malzacher, Gerald Raunig & Jonas Staal. A conversation with etcetera, Nato Thompson & WHW.
