The third issue of Red Thread presents critical case studies and essays on marginalized social groups and their strategies of resistance. It explores the complex relationship between artistic and activist practices and these communities. Focusing on the concept of “interval,” the issue examines political possibilities beyond dominant structures. It aims to challenge conventional visibility and open new spaces for collective action.
Excerpt from the editorial text:
“The third issue of the Red Thread e-journal comprises of critical case studies, essays, and interviews that come from the region the journal has been focusing on from its inception, and that discuss the different forms of struggle devised by socialities that can be considered “disprivileged” in economic, social and political terms and the intricate and usually complex relationship of artistic and activist practices to these groups.
★★★
The contributions to this volume attempt, in different ways and through particular cases, first to critically delineate the intervals in the face of current policies and transformations, and also dwell on the possibilities these intervals present for politics. They seek ways to pierce the “rubber wall” in Alexander Kluge’s terms, produced by the eradication of common spaces of encounter in politics and that efface the addressees of politics.’’
