Yet artists have consistently engaged in activist discourse, lending their skills to social movements, and regularly participating in civil and social rights campaigns while also boycotting cultural institutions and exerting significant pressure on them. This timely volume, edited by Tom Snow and Afonso Dias Ramos, addresses an extraordinary moment in debates over the institutional frameworks and networks of art including large-scale direct actions, as well as a radical rethinking of art venues and urban spaces according to racial, class, or gender-based disparities, including demonstrations against the extractive and exploitative practices of neoliberal accumulation and climate catastrophe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Artists surveyed include: <strong><br \/>\n<\/strong>ACT UP, Basel Abbas &amp; Ruanne Abou-Rahme, Allora &amp; Calzadilla, Tania Bruguera, Black Audio Film Collective, Chto Delat, Andrea Fraser, Nan Goldin, Sanja Ivekovi\u0107, Gulf Labor, Amar Kanwar, Leslie Labowitz, Liberate Tate, Sethembile Msezane, Zanele Muholi, Jan Nikolai Nelles &amp; Nora Al-Badri, Decolonize This Place, Michael Rakowitz, Oliver Ressler.<\/p>\n<p>Writers include: <strong><br \/>\n<\/strong>Dave Beech, Judith Butler, Am\u00edlcar Cabral, Elias Canetti, Douglas Crimp, Jodi Dean, Gilles Deleuze, T.J.
