“Curating Slow Revolutions: Socially Engaged Art in the Contemporary Art Institution” considers the institutionalization of slow revolutions in which forms of activist art practice plays a predominant role. Based on several contemporary case studies in Europe and the U.S., it explores successful instances of cooperation between art institutions and socially engaged art initiatives amidst the unfolding systemic crisis. In this project, I seek to investigate the symbolic and practiced expressions of solidarity that contemporary art institutions are enacting to support social change at the local level, as well as the complex negotiations between socially engaged artists and institutional partners needed to translate grassroots efforts into institutional formats–such as exhibitions, archives, publications.
