Art after Liberalism (Columbia UP & CBAC, 2022).

 

How can artists create a sense of community outside the usual liberal formations—national identity, corporate "creative" urbanism, the bourgeois public sphere? Art after Liberalism poses these questions to works by Manaf Halbouni, Tania Bruguera, Paul Chan, Wolfgang Tillmans, Laura Poitras, and Forensic Architecture, theorizing the role of aesthetics in driving decisive action and building new political worlds. The book's conclusion is a conversation with Amin Husain and Nitasha Dhillon of MTL Collective.
