Lecture
In this lecture Staal further examines forms of ’emancipatory propaganda art’ that do not aim at manipulating masses into Us versus Them dichotomies, but instead ‘propagate’ the complexities and ambiguities involved in building new planetary communities. These creative practices range from choreographies in popular mass movements to the artists at the frontline of the Rojava revolution in North-Syria.
