Art, Activism, Academia: Changemaking in Contemporary Amsterdam
Edited by Noah Pellikaan
Art, Activism, Academia: Changemaking in Contemporary Amsterdam is a collected, fragmentary volume speaking on left-wing social movements in Amsterdam’s artistic and academic spheres. Emphasizing the 2015-2024 period, this book contains writings and interviews of varying literary style and formula, with collaborators across and surpassing fields of academic, political, and artistic practice. It’s lessons are resultant from Amsterdam, yet applicable beyond it.
This publication aims to intervene. To act as a generative archive, creating and curating activistic memory so as to bring about a better today.
