Fiona Foley Provocateur provides insights into the life of one of Australia’s most influential urban Aboriginal and activist artists. From her beginnings in Hervey Bay, Queensland, it follows her young adult life in Sydney where she co-founded Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Co-Operative in 1986, to her rise through the art world and, most recently, into an academic life. This biography reveals how Foley’s life has impacted her art, and her art on her life. It explores the artist’s familial relations, her ancestral home of K’Gari/Fraser Island, and her approach to artmaking and teaching. A provocateur, the artist’s activism is captured delicately throughout. It’s a triumph in story-telling and reveals that there is no art without life. Key points:. An absorbing and uplifting insight into Foley’s courage and determination in confronting racism, the weight of history and the need to forge new models.. A rare account of a friendship between artist and writer, who are also Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal, which takes account of the identity politics that surround such relationships with nuanced authenticity. . It traverses the life of one of Australia's most important artists and documents the seismic shifts that have accompanied the decades through which her work has been made.. Wonderful insights into Foley’s heritage, and the process of her provocative commission at Brisbane Magistrates Court. An important book which records the present, before is glossed or altered by future historians.

Named one of The Progressive magazine's Favorite Books of the YearAn inside look at the organizers and artists on the front lines of political mobilization and social change“Ken [Grossinger] is one of the smartest strategists I know.” —John Sweeney, AFL-CIO president, 1995–2009An artist’s mural of George Floyd becomes an emblem of a renewed movement for racial equality. A documentary film injects fuel into a popular mobilization to oust a Central American dictator. Freedom songs course through the American civil rights movement.When artists and organizers combine forces, new forms of political mobilization follow—which shape lasting social change. And yet few people appreciate how much deliberate strategy often propels this vital social change work. Behind the scenes, artists, organizers, political activists, and philanthropists have worked together to hone powerful strategies for achieving the world we want and the world we need.In Art Works, noted movement leader Ken Grossinger chronicles these efforts for the first time, distilling lessons and insights from grassroots leaders and luminaries such as Ai Weiwei, Courtland Cox, Jackson Browne, Shepard Fairey, Jane Fonda, Elizabeth Alexander, Bill McKibben, JR, Jose Antonio Vargas, and more. Drawing from historical and present-day examples—including Black Lives Matter, Standing Rock, the Hip Hop Caucus, the Legacy Museum, and the Art for Justice Fund—Grossinger offers a rich tapestry of tactics and successes that speak directly to the challenges and needs of today’s activists and of these political times.

Ce numéro propose une approche plurielle et comparative des études actuelles sur les musées en géographie pour tenter de dessiner une géographie des musées. À partir de ces exemples, nous souhaitons repositionner le musée comme objet d'étude en géographie dans un contexte actuel et analyser les enjeux qui en découlent (géopolitiques, sociaux, territoriaux, environnementaux). Pour ce faire, ce dossier s'articule autour de trois grands axes qui posent les principales pistes de réflexions portées par les différents auteurs. Les articles présentés questionnent la relation entre le musée et le territoire, et ce, par les entrées suivantes. Deux articles questionnent les enjeux de la mémoire dans une société et un monde changeants (traces, expériences). Ensuite, trois articles présentent le rapport entre musée et projet urbain pour rendre attractifs et dynamiques les territoires (urbains et ruraux). Enfin, les deux derniers articles analysent la manière dont les circulations des œuvres, qu'elles soient voulues (dépôts, prêts, expositions à l'international) ou alors induites par la marche de l'histoire (restitution des œuvres d'art), (re)structurent la mondialisation culturelle. L'approche transversale de ces articles est de mettre en lumière les jeux d'acteurs dans la mise en place et la concrétisation de ces projets politiques et territoriaux qui s'appuient sur une structure muséale.
