Subverting Public Space(s): A Case Against Utopias (original) (raw)

The third issue of Archipelago Magazine explores the interplay between public space and socio-political dynamics, challenging conventional notions of public space as a singular entity. It critiques mechanisms of biopower that shape social identities and realities, highlighting the potential of art and activism to disrupt these hegemonic narratives. Through specific interventions and discussions of aesthetic value in political contexts, the publication advocates for a re-examination and reclamation of public spaces as sites of discourse and resistance.
