What can art do in an age of deepening inequality, ecological collapse and technological feudalism? Can it move beyond reflecting the world and become part of the struggle to transform it?
Mέta Narratives is our new quarterly e-magazine from mέta, the Centre for Postcapitalist Society, and DiEM25, bringing together political analysis, poetry, prose, interviews and artistic projects at the intersection of art, activism and politics.
Its first issue, Art and Politics in the Age of Postcapitalism, asks how artists and activists can reclaim the revolutionary potential of culture as the right turns politics into spectacle and capitalism mutates into something even more authoritarian.
This post highlights some of the key pieces from the issue. Discover the writers, artists and ideas refusing to treat art as decoration while the world burns.
