Hi Critters, See below for what could be an interesting event on the intersections of art and politics through the lens of the EZLN / Zapatistas. Will be especially interesting due to the militant researchers from Mexico being present.

The focus of the group is on political and aesthetic aspects of specific social and revolutionary movements of the present. In this workshop, GIAP look at the poetic and aesthetic body of the EZLN (Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional), which the artists see as a key feature of the revolutionary politics of the Zapatistas. Using the workshop GIAP invite participants to reflect on how the poetic body of the EZLN could link with contemporary art; the way it is organised; and its urgent need for renewal.
