by Marco Baravalle (Author)

A radical manifesto advocating art's autonomy in the fight against neoliberal capture

Activist and curator Marco Baravalle shows how artists across the Global South and North are building alter-institutions - autonomous, collective infrastructures that challenge both state and market control. Drawing on operaismo, decolonial theory, and two decades of radical curating, Baravalle outlines an artistic practice grounded in cooperation, solidarity, and resistance.
