In Collective Situations scholars, artists, and art collectives
present a range of socially engaged art practices that emerged in
Latin America during the Pink Tide period, between 1995 and 2010.
This volume's essays, interviews, and artist's statements-many of
which are appearing in English for the first time-demonstrate the
complex relationship between moments of political transformation
and artistic production. Whether addressing human rights in
Colombia, the politics of urban spaces in Brazil, the violent
legacy of military dictatorships in the region, or art's
intersection with public policy, health, and the environment, the
contributors outline the region's long-standing tradition of
challenging ideas about art and the social sphere through
experimentation. Introducing English-language readers to some of
the most dynamic and innovative contemporary art in Latin America,
Collective Situations documents new possibilities for artistic
practice, collaboration, and creativity in ways that have the
capacity to foster vibrant forms of democratic citizenship.
